Here I share my knowledge of getting my children into top private school on 3 different scholarship awards, from start to finish, within weeks not years and despite the obstacles. I am probably not the only mother or father to have done this and certainly not perfect or amazing. The difference is that I am open to sharing my methods in a clear and instructional way. Follow my steps, I'd love to be your cheerleader!

don’t think so. After all, the very first step is to investigate the possibility and options...what could be so bad about that? </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b>"You naturally want the best for your child" </b></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We don’t think
twice when on that very long commute into work, dashing between school runs, ferrying children to music school, dance competitions or sport fixtures at the weekend. Not forgetting the hours spent in the evening over homework…there is <i>no day off </i>as
a parent. At the end of the day, regardless of which school your child attends - state, selective or private, these are all very common roles for parents wanting the <i>best</i> for their son or daughter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, if we are speaking economies of scale, unlike expensive cars
and holidays, a first class education is with you for life and the benefits of
that decision continue to appreciate in value.<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "segoe ui";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Peer Pressure</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When we think about peer pressure, what comes straight to mind is an image of overbearing teenagers. As an adult, you may well find yourself in a similar position. After all, we all come from different backgrounds and your adopted values and goals may differ from your partner or peers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You may feel under pressure to conform with the majority view, either to choose for or against private school education. At the end of the day, the decision is entirely yours as parents to make, there can be no asking of the audience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Personal Block</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is important not to put your own fears of failure or rejection into the decision making process. Yes, there is a requirement to be realistic of your child's potential and possible financial implications for the household, but your own insecurities should be eliminated from the equation.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the same way, what worked for you (a school that <i>was</i> fantastic 25 years ago) may not work for your child <i>today</i>, you must be careful not to be unfavourably biased. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The best choice is the right school for your child, where he or she will flourish.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Prepare for Success</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are reading this article, it is likely your child is currently in a state primary school, the same position my children started at. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When
your child takes their common entrance/assessment exam at age 7 or 11 years old,
they are competing with students having already benefited from years of
expensive prep school education, which essentially is designed (not like the
state education) to make children pass common entrance exams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So without
preparation, your child will fail and not because he/she isn’t clever enough –
you just didn’t show them how.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-weight: bold;">"Almost </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-weight: bold;">anyone</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-weight: bold;"> can achieve great academic results with </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-weight: bold;">motivation</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-weight: bold;"> and </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-weight: bold;">effort</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-weight: bold;">."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember also, that entrance exams will be held at specific times of
the year with clear deadlines and requirement for school registration, start early to avoid disappointment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
