Going to Adelaide but need help
Hi there, my name is Steve Bannister. My wife and I and our two children are moving to Adelaide. We got our Trade Recognition results back a week before Christmas so now we’re ready for the big form. We have used an agent and they have been brilliant. We have a 10-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter so schooling is a major concern for us. I found an excellent site today at www.sacentral.gov.au that literally tells you everything about the state right down to the names of the shops in the shopping malls. Problem is though, there are about 100 schools listed! What I really need to know is how far anybody else has looked into the housing areas and if anybody could recommend anywhere. That would narrow down our choice of schools. I have noticed from the messages that the people who have moved to Adelaide haven’t told us exactly where you have moved to in Adelaide. Some names of suburbs would be very handy so that I could look them up. Also is there such a thing as an equivalent of an ‘A to Z map’ of Adelaide district that I could buy over here?
I am an Electrician and my wife is a Hair Stylist so if you are already there, could you give me a rough idea of earnings as I hear that both jobs are in demand. I have got folders of research that I have done but there are still quite a few questions that I need to ask. Also, if I can be of help to anybody please ask me.
Thanks, Steve.

hi steve
you're just ahead of me..
my tra application -air conditioning/refrigeration- is in perth being 'pre-assessed' my an ex tra guy....
once he's satisfied everythings okay (been s/e for 18 yrs makes it far more complicated) it will get passed on the adelaide
then i can get on with the state sponsored bit (hopefully;-)
however there are loads of people here and in adelaide that can give you pretty much everything you need to know
cheers

Re: Going to Adelaide but need help
Hi, We're headed to Adelaide too, later in the year....there's also a thread today of several people hoping to go in the next month or two...
We've been over 3 times and have friends in Hillbank, north of hte city. We fancy semi rural acre or so, towards Barossa Valley and have chosen Trinity College Gawler for the kids (7 and 2), and registered their names on the wait list.
Popular area also is Golden Grove area, but some prefer south of the city, for proximity to beaches, but I don't know those areas so well. You need to talk to wizzywozza about that...
Good site for maps is :
http://www.multimap.com/index/AS5.htm
I bought Gregorys street map of Adelaide when I was out there, My bible! Not sure if available here or mail order via Gregories publishing company Australia..
Good luck, feel free to ask your questions here..
Mash..

Re: Going to Adelaide but need help
Hi,
Can't help with the schools, our kids are grown up and we're heading for the hills but I can tell you that next time you're in london you can get the maps you need in the Australia Shop, just off Covent Garden (and even have an overpriced glass of Victoria Bitter in the Walkabout bar opposite!)
Cheers

Re: Going to Adelaide but need help
HI there, thanks for your reply. Romford, eh? Just a snowballs throw away! I'm in Hornchurch, near Harrow Lodge Park. Are you married? Are you taking children? If so what ages? How far down the process are you? Did you have any trouble with your skills paperwork? And finally, when do you plan to go?

Some friends of ours have their son going to Trinity. From everything we have heard it sounds like by far the best in the area.
