I'm just wondering if there are any meet ups planned NOR? I've had a look on here but can't see anything. We arrived in September but have recently settled in Padbury. (Myself 30 emma, my husband Ronnie 33, and our kids Louie 7 and evie 4). We are having a great time and now want to make some good friends so a meet up would be great! if anyone knows of any please let me know, thanks p.s we are from Glasgow ??

I'm hoping to get my daughter into dancing. She is almost 4 and basically I just want her out doing something. I'm not looking for a top class dance school, just somewhere she can go and have fun. We live in padbury so somewhere local would be great. I've been looking online but can't seem to find anything

Hi hannah. Where NOR are u? We are moving to padbury on Saturday! SOR at the moment. I'm 30, my husband Ronnie is 33 and we have a 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter. We are hoping to make friends when we move as we will hopefully be more settled by then. emma

Fantastic! Well done. Where is the job

I have a 7 year old and mix looking for a club around padbury/craigie area. Any ideas? I've been searching online but I've not come across anything

hi, I too am a primary teacher. Been here since sept but have been lucky enough to secure a job next year. I too applied for everything and it's so disheartening getting rejected constantly! I also found it hard to Taylor every letter to suit as there were so many plus I never thought I stood a chance anyway! I did some relief this term on days I had childcare. It wasn't in the best school so some days it was really tough; however, the money was great and really I was guaranteed work. Schools are looking for people they can rely on. If you can get into a few schools and long service leave or a maternity comes up your chances will be really good! Good luck

We had one from the Khoo I noor in padbury and really enjoyed it! Had a couple from places down south and they have all been rubbish!

i came out in sept as a primary teacher and have been really fortunate job wise so feel free to get in touch

Hi, I would encourage your husband to sort his trbwa as soon as he can. Mines was painless as I got mutual recognition as I was registered in Victoria but it seems like a real nightmare for some people. I agree with the previous post that primary teaching jobs are tough to get. I arrived in sept but starting applying around July!! Huge amount of adverts but obviously a lot more teachers applying. Getting no after no is really tough but I guess that's what happens. I was really lucky and had a couple of offers. I got a years post through an appointment pool however I kept applying for permanent jobs and any in catholic schools as that's what I really wanted. I ended up getting one last week so all the hard work, constant knock backs has been worth it!! I also did some relief which was fine, just over $400 a day!! Plus no commitment of after school sports etc however, again as the previous post says you just don't know where u will end up! Suppose it all depends on your character. Good of luck with it all.

They should manage to get someone to do term 1 before u arrive! That would be easier than them re advertising, interviewing etc as I assume they will already have stopped. hopefully it works out for u!

you keep your uk license! Not sure about the retest part but getting aus license is dependent on your visa. Pretty sure if it's a permanent visa you must apply in the first 3 months. Temporary visa is longer I think?? im sure someone else will know for sure

We will be breaking our lease at the end of January. It's a 4 x 2 x 2 in Bertram. We will pay the first weeks rent

Hi, my family and I are moving NOR towards the end of January. We are hoping to be based in padbury. If anyone knows of any rentals coming up please let me know. Looking at the usual websites but thought I'd try here just incase

My children (3&6) have an interview for a catholic primary school on Monday. Has anyone experienced this before? What does it include? thanks in advance

Is there not some abandonment clause? What if the agent realised we were no longer staying there?
