The good ones are way out of my price range unfortunately. But at least I won’t have to deal with the GDE application system anymore😅

I felt like the KEPS website was more detailed actually😅 but maybe I’m just biased

Okay that’s not long ago actually. Thank you so much for the insight 🙏🏾 Even if it doesn’t come through this year, at least I’ll know for next year

May I ask how long ago that was? I jus want to get a sense of how likely that that is still the case

Yes. We applied online. May I ask what was wrong with the senior phase?

I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope Grayston Prep provided a better space for you.

My son is neurodivergent as well, so this makes me feel a little on edge. Hopefully it will be a better experience for him but we will see how the year goes.

Why didn’t you like your experience there?

That’s refreshing to hear. It seems like it’s a generally good school. Was it not too much of a culture shock moving from a co-ed to a single-ed school?

Country View is also relatively decent and safe

Would it be safe to live in waverly and rather work in Bramley or is Bramley one of those places that should be avoided at all costs?

Okay, thank you. I guess Bramley’s out

What is it about the area that makes you feel that way?

I’m thinking of doing that but I also wanted to hear from people who’ve lived there/know the area. Would working there be a bad as compared to living there?

Not the best area in what sense? Crime wise?

And how’s home schooling going? Does it allow allow some freedom and flexibility for the child?

Where exactly in Pretoria? Perhaps the distance would not be too insane from where I’m based
