Hi, just read your post,
At the moment we live in Aberfoyle park ( soon to move to sydney). If you are thinking of the south and your daughter will still be 14 in January, then after much school searching my self, I would highly recommend, Marymount girls college. It is in Hove, ( next to brighton ) It is a catholic private school, but not to religious so any religion can attend. Its a small girls school , with small classes and a great education, ( in comparisment my daughter was in a Private grammar school in the uk) and it compares well.
your daughter would be in the last yr of the school Yr 9 starting in the January. Which again makes it easy to settle, Then the following yr, she would go on to there upper school secrete Hart just down the rd, which then is a mix school from yr 10-yr12, Which has great facilities.
There are busses all over the south from the school so easy access.
Good Luck...

Thanks Milly123, once we get settled in an area we'll check out the schools in the catchment area.

Tell me anyone: for immigrants are we entitled to the school/health care systems or do we need to go private for both?

Hey Shanaghy, doing fine thanks. Piecing together bits of information for the big move! Houses are slow to move alright aren't they. Do you have to wait for yours to sell before going?

Shanaghy

Hi girls (and fellas to if ye are on), I've not been on for a while. Been up the walls with work and getting quotes from removal people. Aaltonen were very good I have to say. A guy came out and did an evaluation of our stuff. When he came though, I gave him a list of stuff we weren't taking, but some of them I want to now....wondering if I can keep my mouth shut and the guys loading won't notice!! he took a list of every item to be loaded, so not sure if I have to leave the other stuff. You think a 20ft container is huge, but its not really

We booked our one way tickets to Adelaide for 24th November!!

How's it all going for you?

Shanaghy

Hi folks
Not been on this tread too much lately ,lettik congrats on booking tickets we also have ours booked fly out on 26th sept have funished rental booked for four weeks to give us a little time to get organised.We took our house of the market and decided to rent it out ,no houses were selling round here and if we were to wait until it was sold before we went it could have been next year before we got there.Rach hows things going for you not long now either.
