Guest britgirl123 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Helllooo, Im a fourteen year old girl and its a possibilty that i might be moving to Perth as we are in the process of applying for our visas. We've already been over and stayed in Perth for a month and i love the idea of living out there permenantly its just Im kindaa worried though that if we do move i wont fit in being the 'english girl' and that it will hard to make friends at a new school at the other side of the world. Im excited about the idea of moving just wanna know some more information about it all from anyone else whos in the process of or already has moved,, thanks... x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AimeeLT Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 hello britgirl123 I'm 16 so a little older and actually moving to sydney in two months straight after my gcses. Another way at looking at the whole situation being an " english girl" is that infact they will be actually really interested in you. However try to focus on more positive things than negative and just get excited! I went to perth a a year ago and thought it was lovely with an amazing beach! I'm sure you'll do just great there. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She made friends immedietly and it was harder for her to move back to england than to move to australia so i guess its gotta be quite easy to make friends and, when we stayed in perth we stayed in Joondalup too and looked at houses on Burns Beach. And my family are pretty keen to buy somewhere on there so quite possible near to youu x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi girls, My children were 11 and 7 when we moved. (15 and 10 now). My daughter (eldest) was very worried about leaving all her friends behind. We knew which area we were coming to and also which school she was going to go to ... so the principle got her a pen-pal before she came. She chatted to her on msn and was introduced to some of her new classmates. It made that first day so much easier as although they'd never met in person she had an idea what people were like. Ask your parents to approach your new school about something similar (if you know which one you'll be going to)> My daughter said that you're never the new girl for very long, Australia is always getting migrants so someone new is always coming along. She found people to be welcoming and she made friends, but is still in touch with a lot of her old friends via FB etc., Your parents will probably be equally as anxious about making friends, starting new jobs etc., and to be honest ... you'll all probably make friends much more quickly than they will. Have a great time in Australia xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybervoodoo Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 @britgirl123 Ah, cool. I went to Hillarys when I was on holiday there in August09 I'm moving south of the river to the rockingham/baldivis area I'm actually really excited about going. I'll like miss all my friends and family but Australia seems amazing! Have you ever been before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest britgirl123 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Ahh, i know where you mean. We looked at some really nice houses in Baldivis but we thought it was a bit far out for us. We went like the christmas just gone for a month to try out living the aussie life and i reallly loved it and it'd be like my dream to live there but id just miss my friends and family tons and id find it wierd having to settle in again at like the other side of the world x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybervoodoo Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Yeah it is quite far out, still near the coast but more towards the country side I don't mind though! I just want a swimming pool in my backgarden I went in August, so like there winter but it was still pretty warm I really loved it when I went too! I went to look at a few schools and all of the students seemed nice but leaving my friends is going to be sooooo hard! Obviously I'll miss my family aswell! I'm trying to stay positive though because I know that in the long run, it will be the best for me and my brother, and for my mum and dad aswell I hope I fit in though. my mums friend lives in Perth, she lives like quite south down in Bunbury. She's lived there for 12 years now so her 3 children have quite strong aussie accents and they were fascinated with how I spoke and wanted me to repeat loads of things :L I wouldn't mind that, aslong as people are nice xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mollywhitear1 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi, I'm Molly and I'm 10 years old. I don't know if you want to talk to me or not as your four years older than me. I wouldn't worry about the schools because I'm the same! Also someone sent me a message on here saying that the schools are lovely and everyone wants to be your friend, so I really wouldn't worry. Hope to speak to you soon. Best Wishes from Molly xx :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybervoodoo Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 hi, Molly Ofcourse I wouldn't mind speaking to you! when I went to see a school, I thought it was very very nice and all the pupils seemed friendly aswell!

ali Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi girls, remember there is a private message facility for you to use to chat to each other too ... that way people won't be able to see too many personal details about you (anyone can view these pages and don't have to be a member .. but only you can see your private messages). It's great that you're going to chat to each other - makes the move easier when you can talk to someone who understands what you're going through.

Guest britgirl123 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 aha, yeah same.
