New South Wales......The Red Tape State.

Last year in Queensland we went to a couple of schools and they all were very interested in taking our kids. We picked the school and all it cost us was the regular school fees. It was not like that here. We found some good public schools and took them there to register. They gave us a form to fill out and told us since they are classed as international students it will only cost us $10,220 to enrol. Plus school fees. We needed a drink after that kind of news. We then decided that if we were going to spend that kind of money we would send them to a private school. Now the problem there is the private schools do not know the rules for having kids with a 457 visa. I did some research and found that at private schools all we have to pay is the private school fees. All the private schools do not want to spend the time it takes to find out if I am right or not. After a lot of searching there is a school that may take us after all this headache. Its the Mount Annan Christian Collage. The school is a year 1-12 school and is about a 15 min drive from the house. Cross your fingers. I know I have mine crossed. Carol has hers as well. The next step is home school.
