Hi Everyone, Have read plenty on the forum so I see this is a fountain of information for newcomers. We just received our invite to apply, so now the final bits of paperwork to go. We are kind of starting from zero. Looking to move in time to catch the start of the new academic year so my children don't get held back. Having been a member of various forums over the years, I won't bombard with questions in this thread but slowly pick my way through existing posts to only ask new/different questions. I have enjoyed reading about everyone's experiences. My wife is Brazilian so don't know if there are any Brazilians on this forum (unlikely given it is "Poms in Ad"). After ten years in England she needs to move to a better climate, but family friendly and safe. Not in a "spider, snake, shark" kind of way, but a "not get shot at the traffic lights" kind of way as in her native Sao Paulo. Our children are also much better behaved when living outdoors, and more open to eating new and healthy foods. So this is also for their benefit (despite being English I was luck enough to be brought up in hot places and I much prefered it to the UK!). Anyway, fingers crossed we are doing the right thing!! Just need to decide where to live, how to get my children in school, how to get a job, whether I bring my motorbike out, sell my house, etc etc etc!! All good fun.
