Have been to a few of the schools in the area with some flyers for our business. They look quite good - so cute to see children in their hats. There seems loads to choose from, but as I haven't got any children can't say which ones are good. If you have a look on the forum am sure there will be some info or if not just post a question.

Like schools day care centres seem to be on every block so there won't be a problem there.

So, thats us women sorted-kids off to day care and school, men out working then off to the shops we go, then barbie and a few tinnies for tea!! he he.

Look forward to meeting you

Hi Olly
You are right Haileybury is a great school and it is Co Ed. They also go from prep up to Yr 12. An approx price for a Yr 10 is $19,500k
You also have some other great schools.
Berwick Secondary College goes from Yr 7 - Yr 12 and it is above avergage compared to other government schools. The fees are approx $160 per year.

Other good private schools are Berwick Grammar School (Boys Only) and St Margarets (Girls). St Margarets are currently providing better results than Haileybury and the fees are cheaper at $15,600.

You also have Narre Warren South Government School which is on the border of Berwick, the fees there are approx $150 for a Yr 10. The school goes from prep to Yr 12.

Can you give me more details about the meet up in December. We, as in my husband Gavin and sons James (15) and Ryan (11) would love to come along. We arrived 8 weeks ago from Rotherham currently living in Berwick but will be moving to Pakenham next year.

It will be good to see some friendly faces. Enjoying it here but do feel a little lonely at times.

Hi Vicky

Glad to know that there are other people out there locally who feel the same as me.

Anytime you want a coffee would love to meet up.

Hi Sarah

I've been here in Berwick 8 weeks now and feel the same. Let me know when you are meeting for coffee and I would love you join you.
