High school & Primary recommendations considering a move to Ballarat

Im recently divorced and would like a fresh start with my sons who are 14 and 5. Looking for school recommendations as my eldest is a bit anxious about it. Close to each other is a bonus. If you are a single mum who have made the move any other info would be helpful. We havent fully decided on Ballarat but Im keen on the idea should it be a fit. We will be renting for now given it will be a new area with the option to buy later on should we decide to stay. TYIA
