Moving teenagers to Melbourne from Scotland - school advice!
Hi
We're looking to make the move after the summer term ends 2012. I have one child who will be finishing Standards Grades (finishing 4th year, going into 5th) and one who will be starting (finishing 2nd year, going into 3rd).
Anyone out there had similar experiences to share? I need to know they’ll be able to slot into the Australian education system without any problems.
Grateful for advice
Thanks!!

Hi Sweetcheeks
Welcome to BE.
Glad to see you have found your way onto the Australia forum, I have no doubt you will find lots of great help and information on there to help your move go smoothly, as well as tips to help you settle there.
If your child is a teenager we have a forum just for teenagers, which they may find helpful. You will find it by clicking on the forum index button on the pink bar above. Scroll down past all the listed countries and it is in one of the other sections. I am sure any teenager will find it great to make contact with other expat kids for reassurance etc.
Good luck with your move
