[Liz and Paul]

There are many really good state schools about - suppose it depends where you live. We have paid $110 school fees a year, and $165 for book pack with allsorts in, there's a couple of voluntary contributions but these are just $40 a couple of times a year. The independent schools obviously are like private schools in England and are charged per term - they are often called colleges (well they are in Queensland) which is quite confusing and take children from 5 to 18 years.

Have a look on the Government Education website for the state you want to live in and it will give you information on all the state and independent schools and provides links to the schools own website which will then tell you their fees.
