Paul and Sherri

Alex on his first day of school!  As you can see, he is thrilled. Wearing a uniform is new for Alex, especially shorts, but all schools have uniforms, including the public schools.  We have only one vehicle which Paul drives to work everyday, so Alex takes public transportation to school.  He walks to the train station in Fremantle each morning and takes a bus to Bull Creek station where there is a private school bus that picks him up and takes him to the school.  On Monday and Friday mornings he has orchestra and strings practice before school starts (no school bus runs) so he walks from the Bull Creek station to the school.  On these mornings he must be up at 5:45, which for those of you who truly know Alex, you understand the sacrifice he is making.  After school is rowing training and interhouse sports competition. This makes for a very busy week.   Alex is in Murdoch house (like in Harry Potter) and their color is red.  He is making friends and seems to be enjoying himself.  Everyone at the school has been extremely nice and helpful.  The school, All Saints College, is a private anglican school in Bull Creek, Western Australia.
