Hi Mollie,

I know you want to do your GCSE's but I'm not sure that they will count for anything in Australia so it may be worth checking if it's better to come here and do the same exams as the kids in Aus do, then when you're applying for courses/jobs etc., you're on a level playing field.

My children are 12 and 8 and both fitted in really well here and made friends quickly. They keep in touch with mates back in the UK and Alex is hoping that one day her best friend will be able to come to see her - they still think of themselves as best mates even at the other side of the world.
