On the subject of moving whilst your daughter is at an in-between stage in her schooling, my advice is don't! Been here,done that but on a massively bigger scale.
My parents emigrated when I was 9, no problems there. When I was 14 (2 years into secondary school) they came back to England and for various reasons moved 4 times in 2 years, each time to a place where I had to change schools. I was under 3 different education/exam boards (pre-GCSE years) and because of the differences in the Australian school term times and UK school year I only had 3 1/2 years of secondary education. I could have done a lot better at school, but there were alarming gaps in my knowledge, as I wasn't in a country/school long enough to learn certain things!!
Wait til she's finished, then decide. Believe me, she'll appreciate it when she is older!0
