Im an Australian mother who is about to make the journey to Fiji to live for around 2 years while my husband works. With two children under 5 (one, 3 and a half and one, 12 months)

I would appreciate ANY advice people have to offer that have already lived the experience. Im finding it difficult to obtain information regarding child minding and child care for my youngest and education for my oldest child. I understand there is an international school but is this the only option for them?

Also as I will not be able to work Im concerned about what one does besides beach comb and snorkel! Sounds ridiculous I know thinking I might be bored in paradise, however any advice from expats would be fabbo

I am also heading to Fiji with my husband and two children - also for two years! I have no advice to offer as I am looking for the same thing. We will be based in Nadi though and would welcome setting up a playgroup with other expats.

You are welcome to email me for more info.

Regards

Elaina

Hello Everyone,

I currently am an ex-pat from the US living on the island of Roatan, Honduras. I'm ready for a change after 6 years. Can anyone share with me some info regarding crime, attitiude of the locals towards foreigners? A suggestion on a place to rent for a year until I decide where to buy. Can foreigners own real estate? Any limits? I prefer to be out of the city in a less developed area.

Feel free to contact me off the list at paradisenroatan@yahoo.com.

Thanksin advance for any help

Respectfully,

Billy

Hello,

My husband and I are moving to Lautoka, Fiji in a couple of weeks and have three children (4yrs, 2yrs and 1 month). I just wondered if anyone knew of any playgroups around Lautoka and pre schools for my 4 yr old, or any other child related activities around the area.

I would also be keen to catch up with any fellow Mums in a similar situation.

Please give me an email if you have any info or fancy meeting up!

Many thanks, Lizzie

Hi there,

My husband and I will be going to live in Nadi in a few months time but are finding it difficult to source rental accommodation. Any advice regarding life in Nadi would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi There.

Fiji is a fantastic place for young kids to be brought up!

Both Nadi adn Suva have international schools but there also other good schools you can consider depending on the age of your child.

In Suva, The Learning Centre, Suva Christian Community School, Veiuto Primary and Yat Sen are considered among the best.

International School Suva runs a good playcentre and pre-school programme.

In Nadi there is the American International Christian School and Nadi Christian Community School as well as Mt St Mary's and Nadi Airport School which are worth a look.

Sports/activities wise... Swimming and Karate are the most organised activities for children in the Nadi area. Whilst Suva has some other options. The Alliance Francaise runs french lessons as well as arts/crafts etc

Enjoy yourself.

Cindy

I too am an Australian mum who is exploring the possibility of moving to Fiji for around 3 years while my husband works. I have one child who is 21 months and we are hoping to have a second within the next 12 months. ANY advice people have to offer on having a baby in Fiji, what the health system is like, immunisation, security/safety, where the best place is to live as an Australian Expat etc would be so very appreciated. Im finding it difficult to obtain information on these things as most information is directed at tourists.

Hi,

I would like to know what grades of education is offered at the American International Christian School in Nadi, Fiji. Is there elementary to high school or what is offered. I was also wondering what are the cost per child?

thanks

Hi Natalie,

You might want to try Little Giggles Daycare Center if you'll be staying in Suva. They accept babies as young as 12 months.
