Guest Sadie Star Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hiya, so how do you find Baldivis itself? Is there many shops, places to go take kids, parks etc... I've not been yet but we have heard so many nice things about the place and we need to be in that area for hubbys work. Yeah schols we cant really do anything about untill we get our rental, my daughter will be 12yrs on 30th April and she is hoping to go into High School (do they call it high school??) She would be starting S1 after summer holls here in Scotland and I dont thnk she is too keen on doing year 7 again... not sure if anyone know how that would work out!

Thanks Sadie There is a brand new high school (yes that's what it's called) that has just opened this January in Baldivis but at Baldivis Primary they have year 7 so she would be in that year until they finish for the summer holidays which is in December until early Feb. Everyone else in that year will be her age so it won't matter. Most housing areas have a few parks nearby. I moved from a really busy place in the Uk so Baldivis did seem quiet and not much but houses but now I have been here a little while it's really lovely for families and the people are really friendly and welcoming. There is a small shopping centre for your food shopping and essensials but the main shopping centre would be Rockingham which is a 10 minute drive away and that is where a lovely beach is too. They are expanding Baldivis and there is loads of new shops going in so within the next couple of years we should have most things here. Hope this helps if you have any more questions let me know.
