hi ellie.
my son is 11 in july.we are going to new south wales in australia.my son was worried about leaving his school,and all his friends behind.he went onto the computer and had a look at australia,such as things to do,sports wise,and talked to other kids that are going through the same thing.he is so excited now and cant wait.he talked to them about schools, and lessons and found the schools are not as tough lesson wise as they are in the uk.big plus side for him.
good luck,hope you feel more reassured ellie.
