Guest North of perth Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello, yes I live in Geraldton. Very nice town, have been here over a year. I have kids and its pretty safe. In fact my 16 year old is an angel compared to what his cousins back in the UK get upto. Your child will be fine, the town has several UK teachers in the state schools. Also quite a few of the town are expats from various countries. Your son will be fine. Best state primary schools: Tarcoola and Geraldton Primary. Best high School: Nagle, Grammar or Strathalybln. Ive got a son at Nagle and he loves it. But its fee paying, however very cheap and you can pay direct debit fortnightly if you wish. Loads of clubs for kids and sports centre stuff, could even join junior surf club. Also numerous beach in town and along this coast. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
