Which school do you want to send your child to, if you work at Parramatta?

I would likely be assigned to Parramatta office next year and my child would start kindy the following year. As NAPLAN results released recently, stressful experience of friends living in Beecroft and Carlingford West School zones made me wonder where to move to.

They've mentioned the huge amount of homework for Carlingford kindy students and a year three student had to attend tuition class every week. The number of students of Carlingford West or North Rocks all seemed to be too many to me.
Is there any small public school in the area, which would give individuals better attention and more co-curriculum activities, instead of only focusing on academic results?
