Hi, we have moved to Bateau Bay, and we are a five minute walk to the beach. Its a beautiful place and everyone seems pretty friendly. I haven't started school yet, because we arrived here a couple months ago and the schools have just broken up for summer holidays and start a new year in January. We have looked around the schools and enrolled me and my two sisters in schools. The schools seem nice, but extremely different from british schools. I'm starting year 11 in January, got my uniform and my timetable. It's my first year of my HSCs. I dont know what to expect. Ive chosen six subjects to do for my hscs and a qualification (certificate 2, the equivalent of an A level) in entertainment. English was the only compulsory subject for me, but it may be different at your school! Since being here I haven't really met anyone yet, like no one my age. But my parents reassure me that I will make friends when I start school...so hopefully! ahah! I hope the move for you and your family goes well. If you need any help then just message me:) Speak soon! Laura:)
