Thank you Petals for your advice. It will probably be Mount Eliza for us - I have been looking at schools and we will be choosing a non religious state school. As we need a primary and secondary it looks like mount eliza north and mount erin would be a good choice. My son is on the SEAL program here in Brighton and Mount Erin also runs the SEAL program. Do you know much about either of these schools? Their website, location, size and facilities all look good! Thanks, Clare x

Hi all. This is our 2nd stint in Melbourne - staying for good this time and waiting for PR as we speak. We have always lived in Bayside but after nearly 3 years we are struggling to make ends meet. It is so expensive and makes us question whether we get all of those "living the dream" boxes ticked. We pay through the nose for a crappy house to rent - the amount we pay in rent could pay a mortgage in Mount Eliza for something amazing - a real "living the dream house". Has anyone made the move for these reasons? Can anyone advise on the the differences in schooling / facilities / sports for my 3 boys aged 6, 10 and 13. My husband would have to commute at least 4 days per week. Also the boys are adamant they do not want to move again - the guilt's have set in already! Thank you everyone.
