    <p><p>Welcome to Leeming Debbie ... I had the dilema this year as my hairdresser left the salon I went to, two different people reccommended a lady called Caz at Hair at the zoo on Leeming Forum (near IGA), both my daughter and I gave her a try and really liked her and have been back since. My daughter is 16 and loved our last hairdresser so I was a bit worried. Give her a go. Dr's try Farrington Road Medical Centre - 2 great GP's Dr. Bello and Kola .. also after hours surgery where you can just rock up, plus have some opening hours saturday and sunday - great when you've got kids. The kids will be seen by the school dentist, but we also go to the one on the corner of Calley and South Street. Hope you're settling xx</p></p>

    <p><p>Hi Debbie, depends whereabouts in Canning Vale and taking into account the traffic at that time, you're probably looking at 10 - 15 mins tops. There are people who live further afield. The school is quite small pupil wise (about 350 pupil), and we're getting a new principle next year. My son will be in year 7. We've been happy there and my daughter attends the high school and has really enjoyed it there (she's a quiet, shy girl so I think it means a lot that she likes it). Good luck with the move</p></p>

    Hi Ali, Thanks for the information, we've have definately decided to look for a rental in the Leeming area. Hoping to be there in 4 weeks time! All the primary schools in Leeming, Leeming PS, Banksia and West Leeming have excellent reputations and great atmospheres. My son enters year 7 at Leeming PS next year and my daughter started in year 7 when we first moved and liked it. Leeming has a slightly larger catchment area that West Leeming which is probably a bit more rigid in it's boundaries, (sorry not sure of the exact catchment but it would be on their website). Of course, i'm going to say I love Leeming as a suburb as we've lived here for 5 years, it won't be everyone's cup of tea being older, but it has a great community feel to it (we're having a street party on Saturday for Xmas), there's a mixture of young and old, lots of amenities and we have great public transport links into the City and Fremantle. Less than 20 mins to the beach, Point Walter, and the City. We stumbled on Leeming by chance and felt very settled here right away, the surrounding suburbs are also nice by the way. Ali x

    We are moving to Perth in January having spent the past 12 months in Melbourne. We would like to know anybody's thoughts/opinions on the above school, I believe my son would be going in to year 3. We would also like to know what people think of living in the Leeming and Willetton area. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Debbie

    QUOTE=nataliepowell;1186894] Hi all Not sure if anyone has had the same problem but our dog appears to be suffering anxiety/fearfulness since leaving quarantine. We can no longer leave him in the house as he has damaged things and we were leaving him in the garage with the door to the garden open but he has dug a hole under the side gate ! We now have to shut him in the garage when we go out and when we get back he is unbelievably excited jumps up and barks at high pitch. We never had any issues in the UK like this. We have also tried leaving him with dog sitters which has ended badly both times :err: In the UK we left him with dog sitters in their houses and had no problems at all. Do you think he will get over it or has he been permanently affected? Someone suggested he may have been mis-treated in quarantine but i will never know and we paid for a dog walker to go in and never had any problems with them? Any advice would be great Thanks Natalie Hi Natalie, Yes, our dog has changed since coming out of quarantine. She came out in February, but I would say now has some anxiety issues (more than she used to). Unfortunately she was in quarantine when we had a terrible storm, and I believe the kennels did flood. Since coming out, if we have heavy rain and wind, she is a complete wreck! We came from Scotland where we have plenty of rain and wind, and she was perfectly fine there!

    <p>Hi. We are in Point Cook so a little bit away. Settling in well and have met up with lots of ladies through Poms in Oz. How about you?</p>

    We moved to Melbourne in January 2010 on a 457 sponsored visa. We had never been to Oz before. Hindsight is a great thing, but I wish we had visited Oz previously to coming out. We are disappointed with what Melbourne has to offer, and at the moment do not ourselves here in the longer term.

    <p>Hi Susie,</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>We just have a 6 year old boy who is attending our local primary school in Lysterfield, Melbourne. We're close to the Dandenongs, about 30kms from the city. I'm fairly settled, wouldn't say completely, but hopefully in time I'll feel happier. Whereabouts are you?</p>
