Dawny Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 My daughter is due to start senior school this september, and as we are only just lodging our visa application now, she will more than likely be there for at least a year, The question is would i need all her school records from junior school or would the senior school ones be enough to take with us, Also what exactly do they need regarding school paperwork, is it attendance records etc, Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Janeloz Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi I'd be interested in the answer to this aswell, as my two boys have been home schooled for almost 3 years, so we have no school paperwork to show (not any recent paperwork anyway). Both will be going to school when we get to Oz, although that probably won't be for another year yet, when I think the younger one will need to do the last year of primary and the older one will go into high school.

Guest oz hopefuls Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi Dawny, Am very interested to hear replies to this thread as we're in a similar situation. I know for sure that all oz schools require child's immunisation history, but not sure about school reports, entrance exam results, etc?

Quoll Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 None of the schools I know are the least bit interested in anything except passport with visa, permanent address and innoculation records. Placement in grade is dependent on age. Most kids in Australia who travel between schools dont take their records with them. Schools like to do their own assessments of where the kid sits with respect to other children. However there is an exception and that is if you have a child with a disability in which case bring every scrap of paper, assessments, plans and reports that you have ever had.

The Yuills Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi Dawn, Had an email today form friend that has receently arrived in Perth and she says the same as snow white and quoll "you will need their medical books to show they have had their jabs, last report and their birth certificates" She has also warned us of the costs in enroling kids not just the uniform (we have that here and its not cheap) but books and voluntary contributions..does not seem too bad though. I think though as my eldest is in his GCSE years I will take his course work and reports from individual teachers (they have offered to do this). My 6 year old though should just slot in quite easily. All the best Dawn. Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snow white Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 it is expensive as your constantly paying for trips and uniforms and school books roughly $200 per year per student for school books and required items lesley x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yuills Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks Lesley, My friends kids have only been at school since the start of term so probably not had a true perspective of the cost yet so will keep in mind what you say. in England it does seem like you are constantly paying out as well, never really sat and worked out the costs!!! I think the kids have more wear a colour day than they do school uniform!! Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i did know about other costs, Our kids will be 11 , 8 and 6 years.. so looks like that will be costly, Many thanks again you have all been really helpfull, and thankyou for the good wishes xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
