Schools in Sydney + where to live

Hell, Dave - big question!

Here - CAtholic schools are private schools. There's a Catholic primary school in most areas - and that's what your kids will need.

I'm not sure about following the UK curriculum - I wouldn't imagine it's be too different from what they teach here - but then, I'm a kid-free zone and a teacher-free zone - so don't really know.Turramurra is a nice area - but a fair way out of the city (in my opinion - and I lived there for a while) If I as going to live in Sydney for 4 years only, I'd like to be somewhere more active / involved. Turra is pretty staid / conservative / stuffy /monied! You may find this attractive in a suburb

Think about the eastern suburbs - still a good transport network, but more cosmopolitan, and beaches are close.

Or - inner weestern suburbs (where I live) good mix of people, variety of housing, good transport.

Have a look at domain.com.au - to see what sort of thing are available.

Ask any further questions here - I'll keep an eye on it. Unfortunately, I'm probably the only active Sydney member on the board right now - but I have lived here all my life (so far!)

Just so you dont get confused.

public schools in Australia are funded and staffed wholly by the government.

private schools in Australia recieve the same funding but also charge parents an additional amount. (sometimes a lot more).

You will need a catholic primary school

Ya mean, I'ma confoozling this poor person???

Eh! Wotchit, yoo roo!
