Guest mandy1970 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 We are moving over at the end of October and have 2 girls 7 & 12. Our youngest is quite excited about starting SB primary (yr 3 I think) but our oldest is a bit scared. She will be going into yr 8 at SB senior high and is worried about not knowing anyone as well as going up to high school. Is there anyone that goes to these schools that could give me some info about their experiences so I can pass it on to my daughters and hopefully put their mind at rest.

Guest mandy1970 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hi Safety Bay is south of Perth. I keep telling my girls that everything will be ok as they are outgoing and friendly - always find someone to talk to lol It is scary going to a new place and starting a new school. I did that when I was 7 and moved from Perth, Oz to Scotland with my family so I do understand. Think of it as an adventure that some of your friends may never have. Where are you going to?

Guest Jo and Dave Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Mandy, I just did a search and your post came up! I have 2 twelve year olds (girl and boy) and have also been looking at Safety Bay Senior High and Warnbro Community High, we hope to be there asap after xmas. Any info you have found out would be great! Also....Do you need to register for schools now or can you do it when you arrive, would love to take a look around first. Thanks Jo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandy1970 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Jo We went over last year and had a look around but couldnt speak to anyone as it was school hols. Picked up an info pack for Safety Bay primary school and just got more info off the online schools website as well as SB high. We have emailed both schools and we will go in to see them to enroll with them starting the following week. Because my eldest is due to start high school in Feb, she is going to go to PS for 5 weeks up to the end of term (on the advice of HS) so she gets to know the teaching ways, make friends, and the schools will know here abilities. Hope this helps Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dennipayne18 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi mandy, im alison, i lived in Saftey Bay, Rockinham four years ago. i was warned before i moved there that it wasnt a nice area however i still moved there. i was burgled on a sunday afternoon and they took thousands of pounds worth of stuff. my son went to saftey bay primary, school was okay. my 13 year old daughter went to saftey bay high and she had not learnt a thing. we are now back in the UK moving to Brisbane on the 27th August. Good luck and i hope you have a better time there than me and my family had in Perth. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
