The Hobson Crew Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi.. We have finally arrived and are currently looking at schools for our 11 year old and 14 year old daughters. The problem I have is that my eldest daughter who didn't want to come in the first place wants to go to Wanneroo school as she has a friend there. I have heard mixed reports but mostly not good which is a major worry for me. Just wondered if anyone has any children there who could give me any info on this please? She has her heart set on going there and if it makes her happy then we will consider it but have got Ocean Reef or Woodvale as our preferred options. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks Jane x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraighttothePoint Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Good honest Aussie area and down to earth Aussie mainly school. It will toughen her up, she would be fine. Do you not need to be living in the suburb though? Perhaps when you consider that you will, as a family, change your minds? Nothing wrong with Wanneroo just that in some areas it is a bit older style housing. Nice big blocks though and some great opportunities to buy and renovate.

The Hobson Crew Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Sorry for delay in coming back to you! Thanks for this.... I went to the school and looked round with the Principle who was a decent guy, reassured me with a lot of things, the school has improved greatly over the last few years as it did have a bit of a reputation according to the Principle. I have enrolled her there now anyway and she has settled in nicely and made quite a few friends so all is good :0) Looking at rentals at the moment, one in Wanneroo tonight so lets see what that brings? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Rad Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Good to hear something positive from someone who has a daughter there. We are going over ourselves to have a quick look round, hopefully our 13 year old will like the look of it for when we move over in Jan.
