  1. JAPS is wonderful! Entrance exam - I think if you can keep you and your child happy and unstressed and relaxed on the day of the exam, that goes miles! I'd recommend doing some "extra" entry exams (e.g. applying for a few more schools) before doing the ones for the schools you really want. Good Luck!
  2. On the car front - we gave ours up two years ago - with a combination of buses, bikes, tubes, trains, and the occasional rented car, life goes on. We have two kids. It is not "completely impractical" -- other ways become the norm and easy quite quickly. To be honest, I expected we would break down and buy a car eventually but we are fine. I know it is not for everyone, but, it is less impossible than you think - I really was daunted by the prospect for sure!
  3. To be honest, I occasionally hear noise from the constitution club into the early hours but given that it is usually a wedding or family celebration on a weekend evening I overlook it as it does not happen terribly often and seems a bit spoil sport as we all have important occasions in our lives. How about a little tolerance given that it is not a regular occurrence? Also - it is possible they may have applied for an extension past their licensed hours?
  4. Hi -


    Just to add to the conversation --


    I often cycle down Melborne with my children and very often a speeding car scares my younger son onto the pavement - not ideal as I am trying to get him comfortable on the road. We cycle on roads with cars that travel just as fast, but, those roads are wider or have less parking and offer more space for both cars and bikes and he does not get frightened.


    I support the feasibility study - if only to make it safer for children who cycle and walk - esp with the new schools opening. To be honest, Melbourne is handy and traffic displaced might not be ideal, but, worth looking at before it is shot down.
