Mara Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi ShabaniWe rented close to the area for two years, whilst we built our new home in Sunbury. There are some lovely homes, and the Watergardens shopping centre is great. The train station is just behind the shopping centre and there are buses that feed from the suburb to the train station.With regard to schools, if you send me a pm with your home email address I can forward your request to a friend (unfortunately she is not on the forum) who lives in Taylors Lakes at present and has for some years. Perhaps she could give you an up to date answer to any questions you may have.Not sure if you have seen this, but it may be of interest to you.http://www.homely.com.au/taylors-lakes-brimbank-melbourne-greater-victoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim & Abby Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi there, ShabaniA really good resource if you're comparing schools in different areas is http://bettereducation.com.au/Look on the yellow menu on the left hand side: Compare schools, then select primary or secondary schools and your state. You can put in up to five primary or secondary schools in an area and see which ones are doing best in the different test results like NAPLAN.You'll certainly want to check out the school before you make a final decision as it's not all about the numbers, but it can help you narrow down the options or even narrow down where you look to rent or buy a house. Schools can vary a great deal in a small area (compare Carlton Gardens Primary School with Carlton North and Carlton, for example), so it's worth checking.Great state schools are often very strict about their catchment areas, so if you are going the state-school route and have your heart set on a particular school, be aware that you may be on a waiting list or dismissed outright if you aren't in the correct zone. You'll have to send proof of where you live (rental contract, utilities bills etc.) before your child's enrolment is accepted.Best of luck with your moveAbby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
