Hi pink butterfly, I can't give advice on schools but can help you other ways, we live in shellcove and it's a really nice area very quiet and family orientated, kiama is beautiful and also a great place to live. I have been to nowra on a fair few occasions and my personal opinion is that it's not the prettiest area to live but saying that you are on the doorstep of the beautiful Jarvis bay so that has it's advantages. Accommodation wise my friend moved to the illawarra and stayed at windang holiday park until her and her family secured a rental property. Hope this helps a little. Good luck with the move
