知唔知這個省有無好既中學呢? 我個小朋友13歲, 在直資讀緊中二, 若果過澳洲有個朋友可以照顧, 請問大約學費連生活費幾多錢一年, 或有沒有網址可供參考呢, 謝謝

妳個小朋友係仔定女呀？  妳想佢入政府定私立中學？

New South Wales is a state,
there are a few cities in NSW,
eg Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle, Armidale etc
there are government schools and private schools,
my personal feeling is private schools are better but more expensive,
there are also good selected government schools but very competitive to get a place

唔好意思，我對sydney既女校就熟，男、男女校同sydney以外既學校唔係好熟，比較出名既public boys有:
north sydney boys high school
sydney boys high school

如果妳以入大學為前提，可以等囝囝考完F.5去讀foundation studies (容易d入大學，唔洗考公開試)，不過都有人讀讀下high school去咗讀foundation studies，但一定要係overseas student囉。

咁 foundation school 係5咪 = pre U? 要讀幾多年同幾錢? 係政府or 私校?[quote]

係呀，即係pre-u，課程約十個月，但英文成績欠佳要先讀兩個零月英文班。
係大學附屬，十分獨立，算唔上政府or私校，07年AUD$16000，08年$17000(unsw既foundation)

i have a girl who is studying F.5 now. She is a Aus Citizen. Can she study the foundation course in NSW? Have she need to pay overseas fee? thanks for your reply!
:wink:

BlaBla,
citizen都可以讀，但一樣俾overseas學費同埋入u個GPA(分數)由UAC定，簡單黎講即係同一個degree要高分過overseas student 先入得，因為citizen入u有HECS，就算唔考HSE都要跟足UAC入u。

雖然$$比讀high school多咗，但慳一年時間同埋唔洗考公開試，有好有唔好啦﹗

Hi eeb,

My daughter (4 yrs) just land in Sydney few months ago, she will start to 入 P1 next year 05.  I wonder if you know there are any teaching methods to follow and guide her during her schooling here ??  

Thanks a lot in advance!

So you've chose a school for her already?  Try to meet more parents in the orientation and exchange phone numbers, very important to have a support group.  My niece was born there and have no problem at school at all but you may think their level is somehow lower than Hong Kong, just don't worry, because they encourage children to think more, not just memorise.

You may wanna give your daughter some supplementary Chinese trainings (my cousin did it for his 3 children and most Chinese parents do the same), as long as it's not overloaded for a child, no one's going to against it.  I think it's much easier to give her a happy childhood in Sydney than in Hong Kong.

If you are a full time mom, spend more time to show her the world!  Bring her to the parks nearby and enjoy  the nature.  Don't worry too much about her study (or the too less homework issue) unless she can't discipline herself.  I saw many girls who're raised up in Chinese (Hong Kong) families in Sydney, are sooooooooooo smart and can easily get into a good university.  Very few exceptional cases.
