This is the first of what will no doubt be many pleas for information, as I've just been offered a job in Perth and am waiting for the employer to do their 457 bit.
We're looking at settling north of the river, somewhere between Karrinyup, Sorrento/Kallaroo and Quinns Rocks. There are obviously a fair number of primary schools - DS is 9 so will be in year 4 and we're trying to narrow down schools. Obviously if any Perth mums have any recommendations re. specific state schools to focus on, that would be great, but in the mean time, we're focusing on schools which have air conditioned classrooms. This narrows our search, but I think it'll be important for DS in settling, as it's obviously quite a bit warmer in Perth than here in the UK and he has difficulty concentrating in the UK as it is. Duncraig looks good, with a few primaries to consider, such as Poynter and Duncraig PS with air con, but it's obviously so difficult making a judgment from so far away!
Am I being deeply PFB about this, and possibly excusing some great schools, or is it a reasonable place to start?
Cheers all.!
