I'm Crystal, a regular Melbourne mum trying to choose a secondary school in Melbourne for my daughter. I’m a firm believer that there is more to choosing the best school for your child than rankings and numbers on a table. In this podcast, I speak with parents, students, education experts and even principals to get a better understanding of schools and the education system in Melbourne.
