Moving with Kids

Moving your kids to Sydney means figuring out a school system that works completely differently from what you’re used to. Different enrollment rules, age cutoffs that don’t align with the US or UK, and an academic calendar that starts in January.

I help you understand public school catchment zones (they’re strict here), compare private school costs and curricula, and find schools that genuinely support special needs like autism and Asperger’s. You’ll also get answers to practical questions like whether you should wait for GCSE results before moving from the UK, how different Australian states handle school transitions, and what preschools and playgroups actually look like in Sydney.
