Its the toughest time for any parent. There are many decisive points on the basis of which you select the school like
Commencement of admissions

Comparison on different parameters
The right school
Among those points at one point parents usually get stuck is to
Put in single sex or coeducation system.
This difference in gender takes a physical shape in almost every aspect of any school. Single sex education system has always had a controversial history in Australia.
Earlier it was not much thoughtful factor but with growing need of all round development of child the demand to coeducation system has grown. Whether they are Private Schools in Australia or America, earlier operating on single sex basis i.e. exclusively for girls and for boys are now giving thought to co-ed system and converting their institutes for the same.
Some basic reasons why parents prefer to al boys or all girls school are:
Avoid the contact of opposite sex and indulge in hanky panky situations.
Avoid the competition between the two gender s fearing boys may gain academic excellence.
For those parents who have these above reasons for not letting their ward to go for co-ed, the good news is many schools are adopting single sex classes within a co-education system. This is the third way becoming increasingly popular.
Many private Geelong schools are conducting the single sex classes with co education schools. Boys and girls attend academic classes separately in the same school from pre-school to graduation .They mix together on the same ground as they grow older and can also attend drama and music classes together.
Lets see how this system can benefit:
A distraction free environment in classes. No fear of boys gaining teachers attention.
Academic excellence is not the factor of comparison between two genders.
The system is more convincing for parents.
Although in any school it is the quality of teacher and their professional development that makes the difference in learning by the students. With the third way system, schools are also stressing on continuous quality improvement methods for teachers staff through focus on specific groups and learning programs tailored to the needs.
The most important fundamental behind the success of such system are:
Boys and girls have different ways of learning
Childs educational outcome is through effective and quality teaching.
Continuous quality improvement on part of both students and teachers.
