Hi Emma,
One of my work colleague's is looking at properties in the Raumati/Paraparm/Waikanae area as he is fed up with Eastbourne. He too is becoming concerned with schooling and with all the recent media coverage around Hutt Valley High this may have tipped the balance.
In fact he will be viewing several in the area this Sunday.
Decile ratings have been improving over that past couple of years with Porirua's biggest, Aotea College, improving by 3 points mainly due to net migration (and the new Aotea sub-division).
This trend may continue? Either way our children will not be going there as there are plenty of alternatives.
Raumati to J'ville an interesting move! Some of our friends are considering the Kapiti Coast when/if their nests are empty. Us too.
