In my local area, I have no less than 7 "local" governement primary schools. The closest is a 15 minute walk, which I have no issue with at all, but I fear Charlie and Lexie would get jack of it after a while. Particularly on days when I would have to drag them back up the hill to be on time for kindy which is in a different area of my suburb.........

So, whilst all 7 are "local" I think I will mostly be driving ANYWAY, as a result of kindy/work/other arrangements.

SO, with all that in mind, it made sense for us to visist all the local primary schools, and pick which one "felt" right for us. Coincidentally it is the "furthest" drive away.......about 10 mins in comparison to 3. But it has the culture, size, the facilities and the support services and the "vibe" that we were looking for..........

Not sure if that helps any?
