Great Post KPG! My family is also in more or less the same boat as you. We have 2 kids ( 11 and 6) moving from Dubai to Adelaide. ( I gathered you are moving from Dxb too?) .I Lodged for visa last week of December too. I have researched schools. Our kids from British schools here possibly step down one academic year when they move to Oz. Infact my younger one may have to go down two years because he is born at the end of August and managed to squeeze into a high class, being on the edge of the cut off date. Schools are free for 489 ( was my question too) we will pay the same as any 190 PR visa holder- its really lucky because SA is the only state that offers this to 489 visa holders. Most schools are not zone specific and do accept kids from other zones. Some very sought after schools are restricted to kids from their zone only. Will be interesting to see if our visa grants come around the same time! We went through an agent and she told me it should be within 4 months!?? InshAllah!
