Guest rossclan Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi All In process of application to move to Berwick/Narre Warren (hopefully 2009). My only real worry is my 15 year old daughter, who is in year 11 and doing GCSE's this year. Pretty much decided that she will have to go back and do last 2 years at school to get HSC. She is a bit unsure about it all. She is very much into gymnastics and does break-dancing and loves it. Does anyone in Victoria area know if there is a good gymnastics club or any hip hop/breakdancing places around as, if she can carry on with her hobbies, I know it will make everyone else's life happier all round. Anyone with a teenage girl will understand I am sure. Also, does anyone else know any good high schools in the above area or have teenagers who have moved to Melbourne? How did they get on? It is a hard time to move I think. Sorry to go on a bit. Worried mum and all that. Susan:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheClarkes Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Susan I have 17 year old boy 15 year old boy 14 year old girl 11 year old girl and 2 year old boy so know exactly what you mean... We are hoping to move to Berwick/Narre Warren too we are making our permanent move in January! Both my girls would be interested too in the Dance and Gymnastics especially the youngest one who thinks she is a proper little Gangsta lol! Should perhaps let the girls swap msn if they would like to? Send a pm if your daughter interested... Take care Clare x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest christel Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Girls.just to point you in the right direction the website you need to go to is www.gymnasticsvictoria.org.au , things basically operate the same here as the UK (british WAG Coach now training in WA). You might find that the clubs are slightly smaller with less equipment if you are in a regional area, but still have a look at the site and see what you think, good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rossclan Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks for your replies. Thanks Clare, I am sure Michelle would love to do that. The kids are not quite aware yet that we are definitely going ahead as I didn't want to stress them too much when it might take until this time next year but as soon as we tell them for definite, I will pm you if that is still okay. How do your kids all feel about going. Do you know anyone there or have schools organized? My sister has been in Narre Warren/Berwick for 20 years and is a nurse out there. Her children are a bit older. She has been sending me some info on the Catholic primary and high schools as my kids go to Catholic schools here and I thought the class sizes might be a bit smaller, but that may well not be true. She is going to ask some friends with younger kids about the schools around there so I can pass on any info she finds if you have not already got that sorted out. I just wish the visa process didn't take quite so long as some days I am very positive about it all and other days I get worried. I have been there for a few months 13 years ago and loved it. My OH has never been there, doesn't care and would go tomorrow!! Susan x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter will be chuffed, she really likes the idea of cheerleading, as I have told the kids they all have to join in some sort of social group, hopefully to help them settle in better, I had thought Kristinas choice would prove difficult, but hadn,t actually said that to her. Thanks again Cristel it is really appreciated. xx :notworthy: By the way were off to Melbourne. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
