why don't you check out the schools that are involved with the IGNITE program. There are three in Adelaide area. My daughter is on the program at Aberfoyle Park High school., but there are a couple of other schools in middle of Adelaide and also in the North. The program caters for children with high academic ability and allows you to .live outside catchment are for the school. Would recommend you check out the system here with respect to your son. He really needs to complete year 12 and his GCSE will only give him as much as year 10 anyways so would need to complete year 11 and 12. They may give him credits for his GCSE's.

sweet. your time line is pretty much the same as ours!!!

I really wish your places were empty Tamara.

Starting off in Aldinga, where are you going?

we arrive on 20th Feb, so not far behind you.

My daughters school has also said she needs to have an iPad, but there are no school fees to pay the year they enter because of having to buy the iPad

We are looking at Aberfoyle Park for our daughter. She has completed year 8 with level 7's. They are going to look at putting her in the IGNITE program with a view to going to Flinders for Science and Maths in year 10. By going into year 9 in January it will give her the chance to settle down after the move before going on with her studies. Might be worth letting your son do the same. The IGNITE program runs for year 8 and 9 students.

oh to have arrived by November. Can't wait to come over and see the cricket. I hate footie so being in Adelaide will allow me to really enjoy the cricket. Can't wait.

Hi just seen this, does anyone have any opinions on this area?? It looks just like we would be looking for.

Yanda, unfortunately you will probably have to wait til the 1st july now since all further processing of 190 visas have been suspended until after 1st july. but just hang in there it will come through.

We only had 60 points when the state nomination was approved, so we put in the eoi and applied for the nomination at the same time. You have to put the eio in to get a reference number for state sponsorship and state on the eoi you want sponsorship from SA.

So pleased we applied when we did and got our PR.

My husband has model train layouts that he has made out of timber and chipboard. The wood was brought from hardware store. Does anyone know if I am going to have an issue with them?

Sorry hope this is in the right place, Could anyone recommend a VET practice near Aberfoyle Park please. Thank you

looking at Aberfoyle park for my 13 year old daughter. They have been brilliant. looking forward to our visit in September and they have figured out a way for her to spend the day in lessons so she can get a real feel for the school. Can't rate them high enough

this might be worth looking at http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-sa-aberfoyle+park-415396531

why not just use Transferwise, then you will not get lots of charges for changing back from dollars to pounds. I use transfer wise all the time. Fast and only get £1.50 charge per transaction. You also get the mid day exchange rate much cheaper.

DougM you asked what Avon does for me, take a look at this video clip and it will explain everything. http://www.9jumpin.com.au/show/today/videos/4141425548001/ Cheers

Maybe new arrivals should offer to bring over a few extra packs of washing powder in their containers!!!!

Just seen this posted by the wilderness society (https://www.wilderness.org.au). Not good. Huge multinational oil giant BP are looking to begin exploratory drilling off the spectacular South Australian coastline – unless we can stop them. Home to some of the best beaches in Australia – and the world – it is also an important sanctuary for whales, and the place they raise their young before heading back to the frigid Antarctic waters. Andrew lives on Kangaroo Island and is a custodian of the ocean. Donate $5 to help Andrew and his community protect their way of life. With Kangaroo Island potentially slap bang in the path of any oil spill. Andrew and his community oppose BP. Stand with Andrew to protect the dolphins, seals and beautiful Australian coastline from this dirty risk. Text WHALES to 0477 333 99 to make a $5 donation and help stop BP from drilling in the Bight.

Hi DougM, No he doesnt go into quarantine. He spends his quarantine period at home with me. The ministry vets come to us to check him so he can keep working for me. Avon is a service dog that means he has been trained to help me so I can complete everyday tasks without requiring the assistance of someone else. Before I had him I was very poorly with a spinal injury. But he has given me my life back were by I am now able to be totally independent and able to run my own business. I am hoping to either carry on my business in Adelaide or go back to work as a cardiac technician when we move. All thanks to my wonderful four legged partner.
