Correction: Independent Schools ARE partly funded by the Govt, there are various ‘measures’ that determine how much $ they get. Many Independent Schools are Christian faith based; others have specific pedagogies such as Montessori and Steiner. Others may cater to students who find it difficult to fit into a mainstream school; there’s a variety of reasons why Independent schools exist.

Excellent videos. I am returning back to Australia after 9 and a half years of absence and this time with my wife and 3 children. You have just won yourself a new subscriber.

I just wanted to add some points to help others 😊 Kindergarten (kindy) is typically from age 4 not 3. Reception is from age 5 and year 1 age 6. Kindy is not compulsory but school from age 5 is. Seconday school ( high school) is until year 12 but can be on a different campus, most of the time not. Public school is not free unless you qualify for a school card program, while not free it will be cheaper around $300 to $500 per year

FYI, all public pre-school/kindergarten in Victoria is now free, just starting this year, for everyone. We just move to Melbourne at November last year and managed to get my child enrolled, which will start at the end of Jan, 3 times a week from 8.30-16.00 🙂

Not used by new migrants as well we have the home schooling, school of the air. The 2 top or expensive private schools cost around 50.000 dollars in 2024 (Geelong grammar $49.720 in Victoria and Kambala Girls in Sydney $49.825 both prices for year 12) as well will be other costs. At the 3:47 point in the video was one of my first shocks in Australia when I went to a bank and thè teller was grabbing the pen like a screw driver (people teach your children to use a pencil, pen or a brush properly)

Secondary school is called high school where I live (in Australia) and it goes from Year 7 to year 12. So I’ve never heard of “senior secondary school” until now lol. Just letting everyone know

Do the children of international students have to pay more in private schools than the children of Australian citizens or PR holders in the same school?

[chileaus]

I thought secondary School(high school) is from 8 to 12. The last two years of high school I went to different high school in another suburb.
