Hi all, My husband, my son now 5years and myself, will be migrating to Melbourne by the beginning of March 2015. Like a lot people moving to Victoria, choosing a good suburb with good schools can be daunting. We are considering choosing southeast suburbs in the city of Casey. Any advise of good suburbs with good schools would be greatly appreciated. My son born in October 2009 is currently at school in Reception class here in the UK. My question is? does he start Reception class in Melbourne as well? or does he go back a year. Schools in Victoria will start their new term end of January 2015, will my son easily get a place at school as we arrive in March2015. Many thanks. Kalps
