Is Wesley Melbourne easy to get in ? Plan to have my kids return to Aussie after completing Form 4 and Form 2 respectively.  Any advantage if all my kids' aunts and cousins study there?

I have two boys in 7 & 5 years old, whom are all Aussie and studying at IS here. We're thinking when is the best time to send them back? but also wish them to learn more chinese here in Hk.

Our target is public school in Melbourne and knowing that the competition is hugh if you wish to enter a good public school.  

Any suggestion for y8 or y10 to return?  or do we need to let them to comply with the new environment there?

今個SUMMER, 一家人先到 BRISBANE&GOLD COAST 玩, 之後落SYDNEY 探親戚.  再留低小朋友(12歲及8歲) 一星期係親戚到住, 並自己回港.  

請問在SYD 有沒有學校肯收外籍學生上一星期課? 旁聽也可以.
如沒有學校收, 有沒有興趣班之類, 可上一星期?

Sorry that I only answer part of your questions.

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.

Hi,

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.

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?
Thanks a lot!

by the way, medicare is only applicable to Permanent Resident or Citizen. It does not apply to international students as it is some sort of government benefit to Australians

in regards to the student health cover YES its complusory its called OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover), you can also purchase insurance on top of that. All international students are obliged to buy but i am not sure abt high school student. can PM me if required. I helped friend's relatives to go overseas in the past.

I strongly agreed. though it might not guarantee u good income but it definitely increase ur horizon and good for personal development. it also improves your english and I was so glad my parents sent me there it was the best decision they ever made n i do thank them wholeheartedly. I also take the opportunity to apply for citizenship as you might not know wat will happen in HK in the near future.
