That’s a hard one. I had my kids last year in 3 different schools and when we then moved to Brisbane I took the chance and have them all at the same school now a 4 minutes drive from our house. School has been good and things have become so much easier…a huge amount of pressure of my shoulder

Have you considered carpooling with other parents?

i WOULD EXPLAIN SITUATION TO HEAD MISTRESS YOUR PREDICAMENT AND REQUEST THAT AT PRESENT ELDER CHILD MAY BE LATER FOR SCHOOL (NO RUSHING STRESSFUL AND A DANGER). YOU MAY MEET OTHER MOTHERS WHO CAN ORGANISE A CAR POOL OR OTHER SOLUTION. PARENT /TEACHER MEETINGS GOOD TO GET TO KNOW OTHERS AND SHARE ISSUES. HOPE THIS HELPS. DRIVE CAREFULLY IS MAIN OBJECTIVE

there are some good comments here

Hope it all goes well for you this year

What a dilemma! Hope you found something that worked for you.

I hope it works outsell

I think KELLYAMY had some good advice about talking to the schools. They may also have some suggestions like buses being available too.

Not sure what to tell you but I hope it all works out for you.

That is quite hard I hope you decide what to do

i hope it works out for you!

Hopefully everyone is coping ok in your family

Talk with both schools and they might give some insight into which way to do it to benefit the kids. Mine go to different schools and both schools are understanding if the kids aren’t precisely on time everyday

I hope you work something out

Oh gosh there will be some full on days for you and the kids.

Hope it all goes well – some useful advice below.

That is a hard one I hope you get the answer your looking for

so hard to juggle good luck with it

Maybe you should get the house first because until this is decided you won’t be positive which area you will end up living in.Try and get the children into the same school as this will make life easier for the family.For 12 months I drove an hour 1 way to my son’s primary school after we moved homes as it was his last year and he didnt want to change schools I was glad when the year was over as I spent too many hours on the road and it does become very tiring and nothing gets done at home Good luck

I agree with dropping kindy off after school
