jamesnparry Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi Guys Can you clarify something for me please.... Would I need to pay school fees if we come over on a RSMS permanent visa? Our girls will be 6 and 4. So 6 yr old will be in school and 4 yr old in kindergarten. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal2 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 don't think so, not on a permanent visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 All depending on when your 4 year old turns 5 she may be in preschool next year (have to turn 5 before 31 July in NSW for school entry that year). If she is still in preschool then NSW has a user pays model and you would most likely have to pay fees (there are a few gov preschools but places are tight and they tend to be in socially disadvantaged areas). However if she turns 5 before 31 July she could start kindergarten (in NSW that is the first year of full time school education) Otherwise no, as permanent residents, school education is free in NSW - well, as free as any school is. You will find there are 'voluntary' fees - usually around $75 - $100 per term, plus uniforms, stationery, visiting teachers, excursions, extra lessons, some consumables etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
