Hi there,

Have a squizz at the sticky at the top of the page "A list of things to do when you arrive". Look at Part 4 (schools).

Gives you a rough idea about the school system and entry ages.

Do you know which State you'll be heading for? I could give you some info but I'll need to know a State first.

Any questions, fire away.

Dolly

Hi Dave,

We're Melbourne way so I've got some links that might help.

The main education website of Victoria:
Department of Education and Early Childhood Development - Education

Independent Schools link:
AISV - Association of Independent Schools of Victoria, Australia

List of Independent & Public Schools
Schools Online: Home Page

I've just had a look in my favourites and found this website for NSW

http://www.schoolchoice.com.au/home

I think out of all the things that has to be arranged on making the move over, getting the best school for the boys was paramount.

Dolly
