That is excellent news that you have not agreed to the relocation. You probably need to move quickly though to restrict her capacity to relocate unilaterally with the kids, otherwise you run up against the challenge of trying to get a relocation order to have the kids moved back, which is generally a lot more difficult than getting an injunction to restrict relocation in the first place.
File an initiating application for parenting orders that also seeks interim orders and see if you can have it heard urgently. The registrar might refuse, but who knows? It may be worth a shot.
In your interim orders, seek an order that neither parent is permitted to relocate with the children more than, say, 20km from their current postcode.
In your affidavit, advise that the children told you about mum's intention to relocate, and on contacting the prospective school, you've confirmed their enrollment for the commencement of Term 1, 2018. Clarify that the mother has at no time consulted with you about the possible relocation, including at your most recent mediation, and you're not agreeable to it.
Of course, seek other parenting orders, as well - time spent with, parental responsibility, etc. - but I would look at getting something like the above in place as well.
Then wait and see what mum's response is. She might not even seek relocation orders, but if she does, then you start making the case for other things, like residency to keep the kids in your local township.
