hello, hi sarojb, Thanxs once again for ur reply. I can't send private messages,as it requires minimum 10 posts per month,which I don't have right now. if u think its ok for u to give e-mail id u can send to my id Please contact me through private messages. You can sign up for private messages here - http://www.indusladies.com/forums/payments.php I was under the impression that public schooling till 12th is free there. It is a news to me that we have to pay for it. Do u have school going children or u know anybody whos children r in grade 11 or 12th.if I can able to correspond with them it will be very helpful to me. which place in Canberra is good to stay considerating the secondary schools, indian community,maket etc. Is it true that there is racism in Australia. I have heard lot of people saying it.so I am little bit worried for my son because here in Dubai it a very protective and safe environment. Iwill appreciate if u can tell me about yourself.u can write to me to my e-mail id. rgds, mala
Re: hello, Hi, I am sudha.I am living in Melbourne.I don't know about Canberra.but,my son now going to Prep. it means before 1st standard,they need to go to school one year like a kinder.Here,there are two types of schools .one is public school,for that you don't need to pay school fees until 12th.but,we need to pay only for books and notes they provide at the start of the school according to the year.In private school,we need to pay school fees every year.it ranges from 5000dollars per year to 20000dollars per year depends upon the school.still you need to pay for the books and notes at the year starting.i tell you as much as I know,because I have school going child.
