I would like to know about state and private schools in Australia and the approx costs of each per yr ?

Question

My husband is likely to be offered a job there and before he can accept we need to find out about schools. We have 3 boys aged 6 , 8 and 15 and I am concerned about their education and the cost implications as I think you need to pay for public ( state ) schools and don't know how much this would be. Any other information on moving to Australia would be greatly appreciated as I feel excited but nervous about such a massive decision and don't really know where to start as he doesn't yet know where he will be based, although it is likely to be one of the main cities. My eldest son would be taking his exams this yr, he is not particularly interested in higher education - is he likely to be able to learn a trade quite easily ?

Catholic college is commonly relatively pricey, so be certain you understand what you are getting forward of time.
