Guest Leigh Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hi Jo We live in Mindarie, not far from Connolly & Currambine. I don't think rentals come up very often in Connolly. It was one of the suburbs we always used to put in our searches but never had any luck. I have heard good reports about the primary school there. Have you done a reccie here, did you get chance to check out schools etc? If there's anything we can help with let me know. Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoHill Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi Leigh Thanks for your reply-sorry it's taken a while to respond i'm still finding my way around the site! Yes we came out for a trip in August and loved wht we saw. The girls have been accepted into Connolly Primary and i'm really pleased because it does look lovely. We also looked at Currambine Primary which was lovely too but Connolly just a feel of their school that they are at at the mo(though not for much longer!) I thought that the suburb that we decided on would determine what school they went to but in fact it has been the other way round which is why i'm looking for accommodadation in and around those areas. I've heard that Mindarie is lovely also but we didn't get to see it on our trip.Is it far from the suburbs i've been looking at? Talk soon Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leigh Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi Jo Mindarie is only 5 minutes away from Currambine/Connolly. There's a few of us that get together for lunch once a week at Mindarie marina. http://www.mindariemarina.com.au/ You'll have to come & join us when you're settled.
