Younger OnesA forum especially for teenagers and the younger ones making the big move down under. Its here to discuss all things with migrating and living in Australia.
I'm writing in the hope my daughter Amy, aged 14, who is a bit against moving may get speaking to some others similar to her who are already in Perth or a looking to move there. Any advice or reassurance on schools, shops, stuff to do, feelings etc will be much appreciated. We hope to be out there by July/August 2008.

Hi We moved to Perth in Aug 07. I have a 14yr old son and a 19yr old daughter. I get Steve my son to pm his msn address. for your daughter if she wants to ask any questions It will probably be tomorrow as he is out at the cinema tonight, staying at a mates and then playing soccer tomorrow! He has made friends really easily, finds school as good as school can be when you are 14. Where abouts in Perth are you thinking of heading we are in Mindarie.
Good luck with the move.
Lynne

We are going to be moving out in about 3 months and I have two step daughters Ffion and Sian about the same age if you want to get your daughter to PM them I'm sure they'll have loads in common.
my daughter amy is 14 in april we to are moving to perth at first she did not want to go but is excited and scared and would love to talk to amy.
do you know where abouts in perth yet? we are waiting till we get there hoping to hear by end of feb or b4, house is going up this week so once that is sold and got visa's we are out of here.
tell amy she can pm my amy if she wants and just ask each other questions and maybe meet up once we are all there.
I'll get her to read thru all this when she gets in from school. Spent half the weekend on the internet researching where to go. Places that tickled my fancy were Mindarie or Hillarys I think. North of River seems where us Poms head!! Place must have decent schools, hopefully not private. Could afford some fees but not 18,000 AUS$ per child. This website is amazing I've learned so much and people are so helpful.
My daughter is slightly younger (13 next month) and has settled in so well here, made friends very quickly and loves it. We're SoR in Leeming, there are lots of Brits in some northern and southern suburbs - Rockingham for example is called little england by the aussies I work with.
