Hi rayray,

Yes I think they are handling it. I tossed and turned for a long time as to whether we should go private or not. In the end we decided that it was very important for the kids to have their friends around them. As we live so close, we wanted them to be able, at some stage, to go and call for their friends and vice versa. My kids and I are from the uk ( I married an Ozzie) so it was important that they were able to establish good friendships.

The other side of it is that as they are young, we don't have to leave them there until grade 12, if the school isn't working for them by the time they get to the high school, we can go private then.

I hope that's clearer than mud for you! lol:
