請問大家知不知道這間中學好不好呀? 小女想明年1月去讀Year 8, 但不知可以否?

請個在Brisbane的區是否好還是不好?

請大家給我意見, 十分感謝您們?

stellaygf2996 & nikkikilau, thank you very much for your reply!

I used to study in IES and lived in Brisbane before. There is lots of people walking up to IES during school term and it would be safe for them. Brisbane is much more safer then Sydney and Melbourne for sure. Don't worry too much and I'm sure that your daughter would be very enjoy her school life in IES.

其實，如果是以區域劃分學校，妳會否考慮讓囡囡讀私立日校（不包住宿），但有校車服務，經濟很多！

謝謝您的意見。

現在不管怎樣, 會在11月初先過去看看再作打算!

因問過其他學校, 很多都是要在該區住才可以申請, 如果不是該區住的, 需要在開學後才知是否有位給我們!

那你兒子覺得那段路危險嗎？

我都有行過，四圍是靜的，我由學校行落山去city ，都要行好幾個街口才多些人氣。可能學校開學了會好些，白天問題應不大，選大路行，盡量不要太晚走便可以。

謝謝你的回复！很有用！

Those bad people are usually paedophile or criminals with child and sex abuse (there are many sex criminals in Australia). Blackmail is just a small number. Recently, the terrorists in Australia even said that they would find any ordinary people to kill. The bad people drive the whole day to find preys. They don't need to work as Australia has a very good welfare system.

It's difficult to say whether it is safe to go to school by bus in the morning. It really depends on where she lives and how long it will take to go to the bus stop. If you know her homestay address, you can then check from Google map the distance between her homestay and the bus stop (to the school and back from school will be two different bus stops). You can even use the Google map to check whether the surrounding of the homestay address is safe.

小女的學校晚間沒有課，homestay也規定了時間回去，所以應該不會夜晚在街上。

不過，早上去乘巴士的話會有危險嗎？

你所說的壞人，是澳洲當地人嗎？他們捉人有什麼目的？是要拿贖金嗎？

Thanks for your trust in what I have said. Sorry that I don't know IES. Perhaps others can give you more information about it. However, in Google map, I see that it is located very near CBD. Or, you can even say it is in the CBD. As said, it is really not safe to walk alone at night everywhere including CBD (not only in Australia, but in other countries). In Brisbane's busy areas like CBD, shops are usually closed in the evening. So at night, the streets will be very quiet. In Brisbane's CBD, the shops will close late on Friday. So, perhaps Friday night will be safer compared to other days in a week. Other than busy areas, the streets are very quiet at any time, so they are not safe.

I see that there is a small hospital nearby which has emergency. That sounds quite good as it means that sometimes there will be policemen in the hospital. A place may be safer if there is a police station or policemen around. But, that doesn't mean you can go home at night. Also, as IES is in CBD, morning (after the shops open) and afternoon will be safer as there are many shops and people around the place.

Moreover, you need to know whether your daughter needs to attend evening classes. Then, it'd be better that she has classmates living near her home so that they can go home at night together. Anyway, the most important is that when going home, don't talk to any strangers. Don't try to answer any questions they ask. Just say "sorry I don't understand" and walk away. Dail a call (or pretend to dail a call) to let the stranger know someone is talking to you on the mobile phone. If you see someone or a group of people in front of you on the street, you may walk to the other side of the street so that you don't need to walk passing them. It is really dangerous if you need to walk passing someone on a quiet street, especially at night.

有很多寄宿女校和寄宿男女校。雖然你女兒有身分，但只有學費便宜過海外生，住宿費是大家都一樣的。你要預一年學校加住宿費約 澳紙 3.5 至 6 萬不等

請問Brisbane的治安怎樣？我女兒來緊在Brisbane讀foundation，有什麼需要注意的嗎？ ...

I would say that Brisbane is safer than Sydney and Melbourne. However, in Australia, one should not go out alone at night (when the sun goes down), especially girls and children. When your daughter is new there, the best is to learn more about the place she lives and keep going home earlier. Don't even walk alone in the morning or afternoon as most of the streets are very quiet. Even in main roads, there would not be many pedestrians. Many kidnappers are driving their cars the whole day, looking for their preys.

You may let me know where your daughter will live and study. If I know the place, I will tell you more.

那請問在Brisbane有好的寄宿中學嗎? 可否告訴我, 謝謝!
