@multitasking Hello po! just want to ask kung ano ang mga dapat I-prepare or dalhin from Pinas in preparation for state school in AUS (e.g documents) for Grade 2 and Grade 5 students? Madami po ba sila books dala everyday? Mahal po ba ang mga school supplies or better na magdala kmi from Pinas? Madali lang po ba mag-enroll? Gaano kahabang panahon ang dapat ilaan sa paghanap ng state school? Thanks!

For lost immunization records, go to your family doctor or any doctor, then ask for a certificate na immunized na kids nyo. Then when you go to GP here, provide the certificate na dala nyo, then ask them to update your records sa medicare.

@rrjg - ano po visa class nyo?
if PR - Birth Certificate, Passport and Visa Grant Letter , then immunisation record (GP/medicare will update this online) You need to have a medicare account (mygov) to access the certificate and have downloaded and printed anytime you need it.

For school materials, nasa Kindie pa lang eldest ko eh, di naman sila masyado nirerequire ng kung ano ano.

I really appreciate the state school here, yung school ng kid ko may additional Korean language class. Sobrang diverse and multicultural, which I think is very positive.

Bullying is being taken care of here (Sydney) sa tingin ko mas matindi pa bullying dyan sa tin eh. :P

@rrjg, bulying here is almost non existent and there are very strict laws about it..sabi ng anak ko. :-) She is now enjoying school and fully adjusted to aussie school life...she dont have any Pinoy class mate but she already made a lot of good friends..minsan nga parang mas madali pang maka adjust ang mga bata kesa satin..hahaha! Cheers!

@Teng10 thanks for ur comment. Now ko lng nabasa. Glad to hear that bullying is not an issue. We are planning tonkove to carlingford. Do u have any idea sa suburb na un? Is it a safe place to be? Which places in sydney are to be avoided in terms of safety amd security, any ideas? Thanks again!:)

rrjg · October 2017

@raiden14 thanks! State school din ang plan nmn and good to Hear positive views on it from someone na naka experience na pag atalin ung kids nila dun. Do you have an idea kung pde kmi mag open ng account online before settling to aus?

Teng10 · October 2017

My son(yr 9) just moved here in AU this January. But, before that I've been hunting for his schools. I crossed out State school, inexpensive but since he is a new comer he might got bullied or be alone. Didn't go for Grammar school, too expensive. I picked Catholic school, semi subsidise ng government(as per the school enrolment officer). So far, tuwang tuwa ang anak ko. Price-wise nasa 6kish ang babayaran ko sa Catholic including all misc fees, we are in central VIC.

my son is grade schooler here in SG, pwde ba sha makapasok sa schl even in middle of school year sa melbourne?
is catholic school better than the state school?

I suggest rent a place sa suburb where the best state schools are.After that then pede kanalipat ibang place khit walansa catchment area.My daughter came here Year 4 and now she is in Year 10.Catholic and Christian School sya napasok, tuition is about 11-12k a year.Some of my friends rented a house in Glen W for the school then nung plano na nila buy property eh a bit further out kase naman millionesang properties dun.

My son is in Prep and currently studying in one catholic school here in regional QLD. tuition fee is like 114 every forthnight (mga around 2k a year). Maayos naman so far. Medyo pricey lang sa uniforms, and palaging may mga activities and reading materials na uwi sa bahay hehe

PMPdreamer · June 2018

hello, any recommended catholic school in nsw? saka inquire na din po ng range of costs

batman · June 2018

sino dito under 489 na may kids attending grade school? 489 visa not PR visa pag mag aral ba mga bata pede din sa state school?

chococrinkle · June 2018

@batman Yes pwede sa state school with minimal fees. They are not treated as international students, and Ive read only those under 457 visas have separate (higher) school fees.

batman · June 2018

@chococrinkle thanks for the info. what about sa mga 489 na gusto mag aral ng MBA considered ba sila international students?

chococrinkle · June 2018

@batman I think if sa Uni na mag enrol considered as locals pa din. Though mataas na din tuition fee except yata sa TAFE, mas mura dun. Meron ako na research, see link below though di sya offical from the govt website mismo. May nahanap ako na site before about schooling, try ko hanapin ulit.

chococrinkle · June 2018

@batman eto naman from SA. i think treatment is still the same, if you are a 489 visa holder and you want to study, fees will be same with locals also.

@PMPdreamer http://www.stmichaelsblacktown.catholic.edu.au/home eto lang suggestion ko kasi yun anak ng relative namin jan pumapasok and we are also planning to enroll our kids there once mag migrate na kami sa Oz. You can find their fees sa website browse mo lang. only disadvantage is mejo malayo sya sa Sydney CBD, sa Blacktown ang location ng school.

bananita · August 2019

Hi! I have a question po. We are migrating from SG to Adelaide, South Australia in November right after matapos ng classes ng son ko sa Primary 1. I read sa website ng https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/education-and-learning/schools/choosing-a-school/enrolling-in-primary-school na if ieenrol mo sa local/state school ang anak mo you have to show proof na you are owned a house or is renting a house and not just a room. Dapat din daw by Term 2 nakapag-register na which is around July. But for sure my family will only be renting a room first when we get there and we can only register him in a school in November or December. Is there anyone po who can share some information or experiences related po dito? Thank you po in advance

Not true. We only showed that we are renting to check nila na within the area kmi na sakop nila.
