Hi there,  I'm enrolled on a Masters of Teaching (Primary) degree beginning in February and my current WHV is due to expire in December.

Hi guys, So I have been in Australia for 4 years with my working holiday visa and Covid visa, and have recently decided I would like to get qualified as a carpenter so I could either stay here or New Zealand.

Eldest will start uni and 16 year old will start in year 11.  I wanted to ask others how hard/easy was it for your older kids to make lifelong friends there?
