Hi friends,I am new to this wonderful site. It feels so nice to be here on IL. I am Farheen,a housewife.I live in Singapore along with my 2 daughters aged 11 and 8 along with my husband who works for an IT company here.Previously we lived in Frankfurt (Germany)before relocating to Singapore. We are planning to consider Melbourne for settling down keeping in mind kids higher education and fantastic quality of life in Melbourne. Since we are not PR's yet,can someone guide me on children's school fees in public and private schools.How does it work there regarding schools? Also,it would be great if I can be advised on the approximate expenditure on groceries for a family of 4 and house rent (My husbands office would be in CBD) and other basic expenses. That''s it for now friends. Hoping to hear from you'll soon lovely ladies.. Take care. Bye. Farheen
