@nfronda it's nice to know that there are schools that immediately accept new enrollees. Sana ganun din ang schools na mapupuntahan namin sa Victoria pag punta namin later this year, for my 10 year old daughter. I-enroll pa namin siya dito sa Manila sa grade 5 hanggang December . Sana makahanap kaagad kami ng school para sa kanya.
Wife is the primary visa applicant.

My sons are 8 yo (Grade 3) and 12 yo (1st year high school). When is the best time to go to oz and enroll our sons? Same grade din ba sila sa Oz pag pasok by January?

I agree with the poster saying na mas magaling ang teaching style sa atin ... sa atin kasi tutok at pwedeng manakit ang teacher ... what I like about the teaching here is they teach your kid how to be independent and mature .... I also confirm that bullying is a problem here ... that is why I always tell my son to defend himself if the situation arises .. what i like also about the system here is they have a lot of activities .. play groups ... movies ... recycling ... and maganda rin yung ni rerequire nila na marunong lumangoy ang bata

@nfronda thanks for the reply. Di pala maco-consider if tapos na nila yung certain year level. So whatever is their age on the cutoff date, yung corresponding year level ang kelangan nilang i-enroll.
anybody here na nasa Primary ang anak in NSW? any recommendation for specific school? private or public? when should we need to talk to the school to enroll our kid? ok ba ang pinapasukan nila?
thanks in advance

Hi mates! I have a question lang re: school po. We're planning to move by Feb 2016, which is by then 6 yrs old na daughter ko. Yung schooling kasi dito sa hk is from sept - Jul. so basically nagstart na sya ng school ngayon, last year in kindergarten. So pag nagmove kame ng Feb meaning hindi nya matatapos yung current school yr dito, ang question ko is, kasi dyan Primary 1 is 6 years old, so iaccept kaya sya ng school dyan for primary kahit hindi nya tapos ang kinder school yr dito? Salamat!

Hello, magtatanong lang sana ako sa mga parents with school age children including preschool.
1. Did you choose the suburb based on the nearby schools or the other way around?
2. Were you able to find a shared accommodation with your child/(ren) during your first move?
Anyone here under 457 visa? Magkano school fees sa Queensland for prep and primary? Is it still free or like NSW and ACT states, may bayad na din? Salamat sa sasagot

“Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.”
