avi..nag email ka kay totoyoz if kaya bah ng finances if student visa yung hubby mu plus 2 kids to live in oz. check out the link above i gave you.. there's a lists of tuition fees sa PUBLIC SCHOOL po yan for international children who are on a student visa. kindergarten to to year 6 is about 9000 aud per year. i hope you can open the link cause there are lots of information there. international students like your children will not be able to access subsidize education in oz.. that's for work visa holders, temporary/permenant residents and citizens which can be free..bayad lang sila for uniforms.
just saw this post sa wall ni totoyoz and i will comment if you don't mind. if you are both students.. finding a job is one difficult and you are only allowed to work certain number of hours. a student's salary or part time work is not designed to support a family of 4 like yours. most students like rommel (pasensya but you are a very good example) who is a 3 years BSN student in nsw.. he found a job a year after his first year. he is only allowed a certain number of hours while studying..he is an assistant in nursing and it pays above minimum wage pa nga eh. whatever he earns with his part time is good enough for good time/ dates or if he was on his own it can support him but even he would say that it is "just" enough.
he doesn't pay rent cause his family lives here.. he said if he had to pay rent..it's quite hard. also, as students you're kids are not entitled to free education in oz. if you were entitled to something it would be good but if you are considered international students then you will pay talaga full price even sa public kasi you are not entitled to what the other kids are entitled like subsidy from the govt.
rent.. you need to pay at least per week of 300 for all of you.. you will have a hard time finding a room to fit all of you if that is your plan unless you have relatives willing to do that for you. as most real estate properties will never allow that..you need at least a 2 bedroom house.. www.realestate.co.au or www.domain.co.au to check out rental prices in au.
why not settle down first as a couple..then get the kids after ...? kaysa you all will have a financially hard time in oz..it's not fare for the kids din to encounter hardship on their first migration. get your affairs sorted sa.. give it 3-6 months then see if kaya nyo with your finances to have kids here.
anyway, school sa pinas finish in march. school enrollment in oz for the kids, start in april/ may.
think about it..pa unahin na lang si hubby then you and the kids can follow once hubby has a job, adjusted to school and work, and he can honestly say after inquiring about school/ rent/ bills (utilities) and other expenses that it is feasible to have a family 4 on a salary of a part timer.
