DebsiRobs Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi We are now dual Australian and British Citizens and moved back to the UK last year after living in Canberra for 7 years, we have realised we have made the wrong decision so are looking into the process of moving back to Canberra in time for my 4 and 6 year olds to start school in February 2020. We were hoping to arrive at the beginning of January but could possibly come sooner if we had to. My 6 year old had already started preschool there so am hoping to get them back into the same school. Are we able to enrol them into a school whilst here in the UK or do we need an Australian address? I look forward to receiving any advice you can give. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) You'll need an address in the catchment area generally, especially if it's one of the sought after schools but nothing stopping you flicking them an email and asking what the chances of enrolment are. As you know, in Canberra it ain't what you know! You could try the old sob story "lots of moves /new people, desperate to return to a cohort he knows " etc etc They will need an Australian address for the enrolment process though.

starlight7 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 They are tightening up on school zones a lot . One way would be to go private of course- there a lot of private schools for all ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
