That is great, thank you for the info. Where is the closest hospitals a&e and a&e for children?

Do you have to pay for dental treatment for children?

And also how much is a family ambulance yearly service as I know you have to pay in advance for this dont you.... well if not fees are extortionate if needed to use an ambulance.

Any advise would be greatly received thank you!

We are going thru a LTR case for my eldest child's bio dad refusing leave.
Hopefully court etc completed by xmas so then hopefully our last xmas here.

Appreciate your responses thanks.
K&D.

Thanks a lot, I've heard that seabrook is very good. It has good rating on the My School website. Am looking at catholic schools and one in Altona North called "St Leo the Great" has similar rating on the same web site. Does anyone have kids going to the school or know of the school?

Most of my friends in Point Cook who are Catholic send their children to Stella Maris (not sure of the spelling) they are really happy with the school but it has just become zoned as well! One lady that I met sent her daughter to St Leo the Great first and withdrew her because she wasn't happy with it, apparently she felt it was far too pushy and was "results focused" with little time for the childrent to develop social skills too - I am not sure how reliable that is as I only met her once at a friends house. Don't rush into choosing straight away though, visit as many as you can, sometimes you just get the right feel from a school.

Thanks, that's useful info and you're right about visiting as many schools as I can. I just want to have a short list to start with.
