Hi hk_woman68
I am recently searching information of Sydney high school for my son who is in G4 now. We are NZ citizens and our family plans to move to Sydney in few years time. As I don't know Sydney much, I find it is very headache in finding a good school. Which city do you live?
Thankyou.

Excellent!
I am an Aussie citizen. I want to know the quality of public schools and private schools. Which one is in general better? If my kids aim at better university, do they need to go to pricey private schools and have all sorts of "skills"?
Thank you!
作者: leegbd 時間: 11-4-19 11:42
Many people say private school is better than govt. school, but the top schools as shown at the following website indicate most of the top schools are govt. school.

Yes, of course it is ok to study in Australian universities.
But, since 334 is a new system, Australian universities do not have some benchmark for them to follow. So, some problems may happen in the first few years of the new system.
If possible, take some overseas exams, such as IGCSE, which are more popular in Australia. The following website would be useful:

I think the university you mentioned is The University of Western Australia. It is one of the best universities in Australia.
Yes, Western Australia has fewer HK people. But, more and more Chinese people get into universities in Western Australia. Your daughter would still face a lot of Chinese there. However, if she insists to speak in English, she can still enjoy an English speaking environment.

Hi! I am thinking about this question at the moment.
We are citizen and back to HK over 10 years. My elder daughter (14 years old) is studying in HK.
I have another kid (7 years old). If my elder daughter goes to Melb, my husband wants me to go with 2 daughters. My husband will stay in HK.
It is a big decision to my family. I need to have a plan if my elder daughter cannot enter to HKU or CU. What is the best time for her to go for U in Melb?

As compared to HKU, CU or UST, only University of Melbourne has similar status (in Melbourne). If you want your daughter to study in University of Melbourne, I think the best time should be year 10 so that your daughter has one year to adapt to the environment and the last two years to work hard to get a good secondary result. However, if your daughter is a high-performing student in Hong Kong, then perhaps years 11 and 12 are sufficient.

Griffith University is a good university. In Queensland, it is number two (with similar status as Queensland University of Technology). Of course the best is University of Queensland. I've got a friend who was a graduate of Griffith University and worked in a very senior position in Hong Kong. Gold Coast is a good place to live if you like to go swimming. Hotel management is also a hot subject in GU as Gold Coast is a place with a lot of hotels and resorts.

We are citizens of Aust and back to HK for almost more than 15 years. My daughters are now studying in HK and are 14 and 8. Am thinking whether it is worth to send the elder one to foundation course after she finishes studying F.5? I am sure she might not be able to cope with those history / geography subjects over there. Can I have some comments pls? Also, for those mums living in HK, pls give comments on this, my friend said "有能力可以去外國讀大學好過係香港讀大學" , do you all agree?

Dear HK woman 68
Thanks for your kind offer. MY son will go to G6 in this coming Sept. He told me he would love to go and study in Australia.
1) Are there any good bording school in town or village-don't want to have too many chinese.
2) If I am not the citizen. Is it possible to get in?
3) Which place in Australia better for a teenager boy to study alone? More safe. I don't really prefer to stay in CITY.
4) Which is the best boarding school?
I am a Canadian citizen and never been in Australia (except 7 days vacation), therefore would appreciatre to hear from your valuable comment.
Million thanks in advance.

The most important is what university she would like to study and her current performance in school. If she is a high performing student in Hong Kong, then studying in Australia would not be a problem for her. If not, then perhaps her aim should not be set too high. However, the most important is that she likes to study in Australia.
For the statement "有能力可以去外國讀大學好過係香港讀大學", I can't totally agree with it. Yes, it is certain that even if entering lower level Australian universities, Hong Kong students can still enjoy a wider exposure in Australia, such as the practice of English, knowing Australian people and culture, etc. However, I usually observe that those, who obtained a degree from lower level Australian universities, are always difficult to find a job in Hong Kong. It may be because universities in Hong Kong always help their graduates to find jobs in order to improve their graduates' employment rate. Overseas universities will not have this for their graduates from Hong Kong, and they usually help local graduates to find jobs rather than graduates from other countries. Although your daughter is an Australian citizen, it may still be hard for her to find a job in Australia unless she will study professional degree programmes, such as engineering, accounting, nursing, medicine, dental, therapy, etc.
Sorry that I don't have experience about foundation course, but know more about university studies.

I know you are asking HK woman 68, but she seems disappearing from this thread. Hope she will read your message and reply to you.
I could not answer all of your concerns as I am not an expert of them. I may answer some of them as I have many relatives in Australia and have lived there for many years.
Wow, your son is only grade six, but he has already loved to go and study in Australia. It seems that he has a vision for his future.
1) I don't know any boarding schools in Australia as my relatives' children mainly study in state schools only. I only know that there are some famous private schools that have boarding services. You can check the Australian Government on education with these websites (http://www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/) or (http://www.hongkong.china.embassy.gov.au/hkng/study.html). They have IB courses for your children.
2) Yes, it is possible to get in some local secondary and primary schools. Check the above websites for more information.
3) If your son is very good in English and enjoys an English speaking environment very much, then you may consider Adelaide or Perth as schools there have not yet been crowded with Chinese. However, safety or not is hard to say. I've been to all big cities as well as remote towns in Australia, but I don't think they are safety at all. Australians like drinking beer and they (similar to other English speaking countries) have serious discrimination (although they always don't admit this). So, when they drink too much, they often do some unexpected things. Even if they don't drink, they may still ....... If your son is only grade six, you need to find a guardian for him. Perhaps you may consider to go there with him.
4) No information as I am not familiar with boarding schools.

Who tell you this? I haven't heard of any obligation for buying the so called student medical insurance. Medicare is what Australian citizens freely enjoy. However, there are two things for your consideration:
1. Medicare card only covers health clinic consulting and state hospital benefits. The so called student medical insurance may cover more than this, such as private hospital benefits. You can check what benefits are covered by the insurance if you are interested in it.
2. If you want to choose a private school for your daughter, some private schools may request students to buy this or that. But, I don't think state schools would have this request.

Hi all,
We are Aust. citizens but have moved back to HK thirteen years now. Both my son (13) and daugter (7) are studying at international schools here in hk. Recently we are thinking maybe it's about time for my son to go back to continue his study.........get him to experience and also get used to the learning environment in Aust while he is still junior.
I want him to go to private schools but my husband thinks the opposite.
Does anyone know any good govt. high school in either Mel or Sydney? And what are the requirements?

I've also returned for about 3 years.
From the age of you children, I suppose they are after HSC, and then get into the Uni in Aus.
It;s really hard to say whether public or private school is better. The resources of so private schools are limited while public selected high school are high in academic standard.
Actually behind "good" public schools, the teachers and tutors are parents or tuition school rather than the
school teachers. As the admission to public school is based on whether your address is within the catchment area of the school. Therefore, it is not uncommon that the districts of high schools will have good hsc result when having a lot of Chinese living there.
In a nut shell, if you are after "good" public schools, the first thing to do is to choose a "good" place to live in. However, it is really hard to squeeze in such districts. as the rent of property price have soared to an unbearable level!
At first, I am quite surprise that why this question is raised by Aus citizens. Afterall, may be Aus has changed a lot during these 13 years..
The only requirement to enter a particular Aus public school is living in that district. This rule is for local Aus. However, many "good" schools in "good" districts try to refuse applicant in their school zone as there are not enough places.
It may be very subtle that even in this situation, some westerners within the district can negotiate and get a place while Chinese are admit only when in very firm persistent.

If you can afford, go to a good private high school. However, they may also have a long wait list.
No matter what choice, the academic performance of your children depends on themselves, as well as the assistant from you. Please don't count on their teachers.
A "good" school only provides peers of similar family conditions while it is this peer pressure as well as the norm of the parent that spur the kids of this "good" school to hardworking. Meanwhile, a high school in poor districts may not provide a stable and hardworking atmosphere.
