Hello, my hubby is negotiating a job in Southport on the Gold Coast and we are looking to be there around Xmas. I realise the schools will close for Xmas and not open till the end of Jan for new school year . So was panicking ... I would like any recommendations for private or state schools in this area for a 5 ,6 and 8 year old .

Also as I will probably be arriving when the schools are closed for holidays does anyone have experience of trying to find schools at the beginning of a school year?

Thanks for any help/ advice x jodie

Hi All, I have everything MET since 23rd Sep including Medicals and Police Checks except AFP which I send off Aug 24th- I email them yesterday and they confirmed all complete and sent to my agent on the 7th Sep - it only has to get from Canberra to Perth?! But is has not yet arrived so Agent cannot sent to CO...............urgh! I know its the last thing and we should be set to go but I am worried if lost in the post - I will have to do AFP again ?!

Anyways good luck to all - hope Cat 4 is still moving .

All the best Jodie.x

Hi DCAL,

 

I went down the list and Im pretty sure I added everyone....I have just been into the sheet and someone had applied a filter to the visa type so it could be that you will need to remove any filters...but apologies if I have missed anyone off...

 

Jambos, your not on there, feel free to post your details and I'll add you on and Im sure Tania will add your details to the front page...strange you cant access this spreadsheet, its just a second sheet on the original one...

Thank you this is brilliant spreadsheet ;0)

Congratulations Tania, I am so pleased for you - about time x
