Guest nejpinkett Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi Lynn We arrive in Melbourne on 12th Aug, will be staying out in the sticks for a few days and then coming to Mornington Mount Eliza to find a rental, hopefully find something soon. Is your husband a teacher? I notice he is going to work in Frankston High School? Both my husband and I are teachers. Did he find getting work easy? We have all the registration etc sorted. I am looking for work once I have the kids sorted in school and my husband is returning to the UK to work until Xmas so we have some money coming in. We hope that one of us will have work for the Jan start. My kids are Ollie who is 9 and Jessica who is 6. They are excited about coming but nervous at starting a new school. Hopefully there will be some meet ups. Let me know... All the best Natalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallyandkev Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hi everyone, There seems to be a lot of wanting to meet up so why don't we arrange something??? Natalie, you are arriving on the 12th so lets make it after that. We could meet in Mornington which seems to be central for all and has some nice cafes. How about w/b 17th August. Anyone got days they can't do? Natalie - any luck on the jobs front? Sally x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam-and-Andi Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi all, I have just noticed all these posts about people wishing to meet people, so I hope you don't mind me dropping in. I also posted on the one for Benton's community centre with kids, so hope you don't mind about that also. We arrived here May 22nd 09, so not been here long. We have made friends with one family through PIO before we came out here which are really nice but would also like to meet more people, the only problem I have is I find it difficult meeting and making new friends as I am quite a quiet person and find it hard to come out of my shell, but think if I got talking I should be OK if you could put up with me!!! In my family there is me, Andi (Andrea) I qualified as a nail technician in February this year, my husband Tam who is a Carpenter and our two daughters aged 9 and 5. They have settled in really well, but to be honest I am feeling a little lost just now. I would love to hear from you if anyone would be interested in me taging along some time for a chat. Take care, hugs. Andi.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky. I am an anaesthetic technician but it will be quite difficult for me to get work in that area so i think i may try something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nejpinkett1 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi Sally Thanks for the PM. My hotmail account has crashed so I can't get back into it, so I have now set up a new Poms in OZ account with my new email. If you could let me know where and when you are meeting for a coffee on Friday, I will try and make it. We have secured a rental in Mornington for 12 months, not quite what we wanted but clean and tidy and will do. We are still in Trafalagar at the moment and will get the keys for the property on saturday. We will probably come down to Mornington tomorrow as I have to try and now visit Mornington Primary School and gain access to the property for the gas and Electric company to connect it up. It has been a mad week and a bit. Hopefully hear from you. Natalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lee02gsp Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 HI there, hope you dont mind me jumping on your thread. I have only just moved to Mornington this weekend, am 40 yrs old with two girls 7&2. Am lookin at getting my daughter into the good primary school - any suggestions?. Am hoping to join a few playgroups in the area. But would love to meet up with other mums for a chat and coffee before I get really lonely & want to go back home to my friends & family lee-ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam-and-Andi Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Welcome to Mornington, We arrived here 3 months ago on May 22nd and are still trying to find our feet, so don't worry. You might want to pop along to Bentons community centre tomorrow at 1pm as they started a playgroup for people to meet each other. I am going for my first time tomorrow and taking my 5 year old daughter and I have met a couple of other mums who might be going from PIO who are lovely. Its just at Bentons Square where I am sure they will make you very welcome. I have put my eldest daughter to Bentons Junior College and she loves it. They made her and us feel very welcome and she has settled in very well and made lots of new friends. It is quite a new school, about 6 years old and they are doing some developing to it just now. I hope this helps a bit, and maybe if you have time we might see you at Bentons community centre tomorrow at 1pm. Take care. Andi.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lee02gsp Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Andi, not sure I will be able to make the meeting tomorrow, but will definitely do it next week and think it will be great way of meeting new people. Can see me going crazy if just stuck indoors with husband and two kids. Is Bentons community centre easy to find? Re Bentons Junior College I keep hearing lots of good things about this school, so will give them a ring and have a look around. Will I have to live in their catchment area?

Re Bentons Junior College I keep hearing lots of good things about this school, so will give them a ring and have a look around. Will I have to live in their catchment area? Thats the thing, they do like you to be in the catchment area for the school, as this is the problem I had getting her in as when we first arrived we were not in the catchment area in our temp rental, so we did not put her straight into school and waited the several weeks until we got the permanent rental sorted which was in the catchment area and then got her into the school. Bentons Community Centre is in Bentons Square, very easy to find. Hope this helps a bit. Andi.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nejpinkett1 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi Anyone meeting up for a coffee. I am now in Mornington on my own with 2 kids as hubby has returned to UK until Xmas. My kids have now started Mornington Primary school, so on my own most of the day, but would love to meet anyone who is in the same boat. I do have some CRT teaching work booked for the odd days, but most of the time I am around. I would love some adult company for a chat. :jiggy: Let me know Natalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
