      My 15-year-old daughter is upset about moving to Melbourne. She says Sydney sounds more exciting and Melbourne sounds cold and boring. We care about schools and lifestyle, but I worry she will arrive already resentful. Has anyone helped a teenager adjust to Melbourne?

      I would not choose only by school reputation. Visit at pickup time if you can. You will see who is there, how families interact, whether the commute is realistic, and whether your child might feel comfortable. A school can look excellent online and still feel wrong for your family. Also ask about after-school care and holiday programs. That part can quietly make or break working-parent life.
