If anyone has any info please I would be very grateful, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hi,
I'm studying in the UK at the moment, but grew up in melbourne. I went to Genazzano FCJ College, which is a private catholic girls school in Melbourne. I absolutly loved Gen. The teachers are fantastic, the girls are great, it overs a range of co-curricular activities and there's something about the Gen school spirit that is so encouraging. Genazzano, and another catholic girls school Loreto Mandevile college, are probably the top two best catholic girls schools in melbourne, in terms of academic results and music and sport programmes.
It's situated in Kew, which is very "private schooly" are of Melbourne, but is really family friendly. Another family friendly suburb, that attracts the more working-class people is Ivanhoe. If you are not in the position (financially) to pay the school fees which are quite expensive, there are many other catholic girls schools around melbourne. It really depends on whereabouts you choose to live. Do you know what suburb you are moving to?
Goodluck and I hope this information helps. Please post again if you need more information.
