I would have seriously considered a private school if this had been me.

Puts us now into the Underdale High zone.
For Primary we're zoned to Lockleys Primary which is in Brooklyn Park, but not Lockleys North which is in Lockleys, the suburb we live in

That's hardcore. Still that's $15,600 for a year's tuition and considering Marryatville is probably better than half the private schools around that's not bad.

POPULAR public schools are facing a critical shortage of available places, prompting education leaders to call for a review of a zoning system they describe as outdated.
Less popular schools are failing to attract students from their own zones as some parents lie about where they live to get their children into a school of their choice.
In some cases families, such as the Gregorics, of Prospect, may have to send their children to different schools.
SA Secondary Principals Association vice president Peter Mader told The Advertiser the trend of parents and students targeting schools outside their zone had increased over the past decade.
"Parents and students are exercising greater choice and looking to move outside their zone to access their preferred learning site," he said.
Mr Mader said the last time the zoning system was overhauled was in the late 1980s.
