We don't have elementary schools in the sense of the US. Our school system is Primary School for K (Kindergarten as opposed to pre school) - Year 6 and High School for year 7 to year 12. Also most of our schools don't have a mascot in the US sense. They may have a school animal, though even this is rare now. The vast majority of our schools are public, and they take enrolments based on the area you live in. In some special circumstances they may take students from outside an area. As a general rule the best public schools are the ones on the North Shore and eastern suburbs of Sydney, they are also some of the largest. We do have private schools, and the vast majority of these are religious based. Also many private schools are a primary school and high school combined, therefore take K - year 12. Some also have Prep which is a pre Kindergarten schooling. Some of the private High Schools do ave what's called feeder schools, which are primary schools that feed into those high schools, in which case it's best to contact the individual schools. The best of the best private school in Sydney is Kings School, and is highly prestigious and expensive. A good school on the outskirts of Sydney is Broughton Anglican College, which takes Prep to year 12. Also keep in mind that many private schools also are selective, in that you need a certain academic level to qualify for entry, money alone won't do. Generally our public school system is quite good, some schools suffer a severe lack of funding, however academically they are up to scratch and many students from the public system go to university and have very good careers. In fact a number of our Prime Ministers, including our current one, came through the public schooling system.

We don't have elementary schools in Australia, we have primary schools for kids aged 5-12 or so years. There are hundreds of primary schools around Sydney and NEWCASTLE (one word). Which suburb are you looking at living in? What mascot? Why would a school have a mascot?

Unless you send your child to a private school, you must send them to one of the state public schools in the area where you reside. We don't have mascots. All schools in NSW http://ourkidz.com.au/component/option,com_directory/page,viewcat/catid,40/Itemid,2/lang,en/?gclid=CNmY_I_q7aICFRMYewodWi33eQ
