Hi all. I'm in need of some help. We've been in Melbourne for around three weeks, we've bought a car, secured a long term house rental and enrolled our 10 year old in a school. My wife is desperately trying to find a job, but the thing which the poms in oz forum predicted has come true.....we're struggling a bit with finding something education wise for our 17 year old. We've managed to figure out we can enroll him into a college to redo the second half of year 11 and then go straight on to year 12, but we're exploring other education options. He wants to do an IT course, possibly certificate 3 or 4, but this is where our problem comes in. Is he classed as an international student? We're happy to pay the fees, within reason, but so many courses are not open to international students. Does anyone have experience similar to this? We're here on a 457 visa so from a victorian school point of view he's not an international student.
