Ohhhhh how exciting!!

[Ginger]

i know!!!!

i just want to know more about what its like to live there though. been there on holiday a couple of times but want to know about the day-to-day stuff.

[Kazzo]

Can't really help but to say we have holiday'd there a few times and Callala is so nice. Very exciting move. I hope someone comes along to help out.

[Ginger]

did you stay at callala beach kazzo?

[Ginger]

just giving this a slight bump

well i have onlu holidayed around there (a lot). nowra is pretty substantial so has a lot more shops etc - as you would know. exciting!
a lot of my school friends came from close to there - they had to board in canberra. so if you wanted more schooling choice (private for example) i think you would have to look into canberra or sydney. but i dont know what the local schools are like - Cally may know more (not right in her area but close enough that she or her DH would know more).
hopefully someone who lives close can help you. x

[Ginger]

thanks mp

apparantly nowra anglican school is supposed to be quite good?

[Kazzo]

Sorry Ginger, I did a post last night and my laptop froze when I hit post and I guess did not post it.

DH friend has a family holiday house across from the beach, you can't see the beach though because of the trees.
There are a few nice private schools around. It just depends on how far you want your boys to travel. I know in Mossvale there is a great private school. Will have to look up the name. I don't think you will be disapointed with a move to the area at all. Small towns like Callala are lovely,

[Ginger]

thanks so much kazzo
i'd love to know the name of the school in moss vale if its not too much trouble for you to find out?
i am doing lots of research before we make the big move!!!

eta- just checked how far moss vale is and thats too far thanks anyway.
would be willing to take them into nowra though, but thats about it.

[Kazzo]

Thought it might have been. I just remember one of the ladies that was talking about her kids going there. Her daughter has a friend that lives in Nowra and she travels there everyday. It is alot of travelling.

I think it is a girls school...

[Ginger]

I think it is a girls school...

yeah that probably won't work too well

[mad4e]

I live 20 mins south of nowra. I grew up in the area.

I'm in my phone atm so will come back a bit later

[Ginger]

Awesome

[Kazzo]

I know you said Mossvale was to far but it was bugging me that I could not remember the name, you know how it gets when you try and remember something and it is right there but you just can't get it, anyhoo. It is Chevalier College (co-ed). Ahh, I feel better now that I have given you info that you don't really need

[MamaPan]

oh thats a diff one to the all girls one i was thinking of - frensham (in mittagong)
i think frencham actually has a coed school to yr 6 now (but all girls high school)

[Ginger]
