Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had this same qualification and had it recognised is Australia? This is a Scottish qualification. 

We have been in Australia many years and I am just starting to get my qualifications changed over now my youngest child is getting ready to start School. I have struggled to find the correct governing body for this qualifications. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Hi 

We are a family of 5 currently in Perth. Newcastle is our home.. great for all ages. We have moved several times in Australia we never feel settled. Newcastle keeps calling me home .. 

We have a house in Wallsend but Whitley bay is my favourite place . I just love living at the beach.. Tynemouth and Monkseaton are also lovely.We aim to move back soon, with children Whitley is perfect for us as has great Schools.. 

Hope your move goes smoothly.  

Hi LKC

Yes kinross is lovely, so glad your children have settled well!! Makes it much easier.  We have June/July children so sadly they would be in the same year Scotland or England.

Hi Jgt.. im sorry to hear finances are making it hard for you to stay here. Are yous happy to be heading back to the UK ? Where in the UK will you go?  We are South. . In Waikiki. How old are your family.

Thank you.. hooe all of your plans are going well!!

Hi 

Thank you .. i really appreciate the replies everyone. 

I know we have to come back and if im honest i also want to come back. Its just hard to make that final decision.

Although we still have our house in Newcastle.  I am Scottish and most jobs for my husband seem to be in Manchester or Scotland at the moment.  Hopefully after going back on this trip we will feel more comfortable with our decision.

Sunshine 111, the thought of going somewhere new when you came back must have been hard, that is a slight worry for me, but we do miss Europe. Feel so isolated here in Perth.

LKC. Do you mind if i ask where in Scotland? Our children have only been to School here in Aus so i didnt realise Scotland /England intake may be different.  I will look into thank you. Our children have no knowledge into british history,  although they are learning about it now ready for our trip.

Lots of helpful information to look in to.

Thank you

Hi All

We are a family of five have been in Perth around 7years.

I  have fibromyalgia and sadly the heat affects me ?.. lol Not the best climate to move to.. Anyways each summer gets harder out here for me and I just couldn't hold down a job here being so ill. Hubby has a god job but I'd love to go bk to work. Obviously I'll still have the condition in the UK but from living there and holidaying in cooler climates my health is far better there. I'm feeling a little selfish considering the move back but I think I need a life as well. In my mid 30s the thought of being a hermit here in the summers is hard.. 

We would head back to Whitley Bay.

My concerns will be Schools  we have a 10/8 /4 and also my hubby getting a job back there, I have already spoken to a few companies for myself and there are options. Always being a stay at home mum just won't suit us and the older our children get the tighter money will become if I can't work here.

Anyone with information on the difference in Schooling ?? I'm concerned my children will be behind when we move bk.

We are heading to Newcastle for the first time in 7 years for a reccie we go in 2 weeks. We are all excited but I'm also extremely nervous!!

We only have ten years left on our UK mortgage and 28 here in Perth?,... doesn't help that the market in Perth is not great!!

Anyone else in the Newcastle area with any tips/info would be appreciated.

Have great evening all.

Christine
