    Please recommend any suburbs in Melbourne that's got a good public high school. Ideally the suburb should be within max 15K from the city.

    My son is 9 months and we'll have a second one in a couple of years time. We're buying a property and intend to live in it for the next 10-15 years plus. We want to buy within the school zone of a good public high school because I don't think I'll spend the money on private school education (can't afford anyway.)

    Pls tell me your thoughts.

    If you know anything about high schools in Seddon, Yarraville, Newport, Brunswick, Coburg, Preston, Box Hill, Doncaster etc(those suburbs in the 10-15K radius), I'd like to hear from you!  Thanks.

    This is a question to ask on a public schools/parenting forum…not on a property investing forum. Your question isn't really about property….it is about the education system. However, good luck in your search

    You might want to consider that the 10-15km radius is not the only place – and indeed not always the place with the most – capital growth in terms of property values.  As such it might well be so that you could cast your net a bit wider in regards to schools.

    I can speak highly of the dedication and performance of the teaching staff at Werribee Secondary College.  Further it is interesting to note that due to recent train timetable changes you can get from Werribee train station to Melbourne CBD in LESS THAN 45 minutes on the train.  I'll leave it to you to research train timetables to make your own decisions on suburbs within your search radius.  The freeways are choking during the peak hour commute so being within driving distance of the CBD is kind of irrelevant now.
