DD1 starts prep in 2015. I'm struggling with making a decision.
We don't know where we will be living. We know the general area that we think we 'll end up. At the moment, the furthest point is just over an hour from where we're living now. We will be living here until late 2015 at the minimum.
There are two schools that I'm interested in for primary. School A - we went to a prep session and we all were impressed. For me to get DD1 to this school, it's a 45 minute drive. So I'd be doing two 90 minute return trips every day with DD2. While both kids are good travellers, that's a lot of kilometres in a petrol sucking car and a lot to ask of DD2 day in day out. I also hate the idea of being so far away from her should she get sick/injured or an emergency happens (we're bushfire zone).
School B - Haven't looked at it yet but they do weekly prep preparing classes for their incoming students. I like what I've heard about it. It's a 15 minute drive. But when we move, then we're potentially 35-40 minutes away from her. So I have the same issues all over again but longer term.
So I guess my options are
1. Send her to school A and suck it up for a year.
2. Send her to school B and then suck it up once we move (because we may end up closer to this school than we expect)
3. Send her to school B and then move her to school A once we move. I don 't know how this will effect her with making friends etc. she's had lots of changes in her life so reluctant to make this decision.
