Hi Kelli, Gumdale state school used to be a really small country type school & had a great reputation. Unfortunately its now grown quite large in the last 2 years because of all the new estates between New Cleveland Rd & Manly Rd. I havent heard any bad reports about it, but I do sometimes wonder with the large influx of students how they have coped infrasructure-wise & with materials & things like computers in the classroom.

we paid a vist to the school and it seems really nice its still small in my opinion james will be the 7th boy in the mixed yr 2/3 group and i think its great that the kids can use the computers to email mum and dad through the day and i can also email the teacher with any Qs i want to ask.
the teacher showed us some of the kids work and it all seemed good much better than i was lead to belive of the standerd in state schools

Hey Kerry, is James in year2 then? or Year 3? He must be about the same age as our boys, they are in Year 2 at Manly West State (which is just up the road from Wakerley - they started preschool at MW instead of Gumdale which was actually a fraction closer)

lol...you have only just arrived I am sure your hair is the last thing on your mind! When you are settled let me know, it would be good for my 7 yr old to meet up with yours, hope the move goes well...pm me your number and we can arrange a date...and if you need a lift to lunch (if you fancy coming) then feel free to call.

Hiya Kerry.

For some reason I totally missed this post :o . I guessed from your email that you must have got somewhere. It's a shame about the house in Cleveland but you've done really well getting somewhere so quick :cool: . You'll have to post some piccies of the new place as soon as you get sorted.

Will hopefully catch up with you soon, have fun with all your shopping :eek:


Tracey
