3 options: (i) public schools (nominally free) (ii) private schools (fees range from, say, $1,000 to $20,000 p.a.) (iii) home schooling Rules and regulations vary from state to state. –––––––––––––––––– For NSW: https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/index.htm http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/ http://www.privateschoolsdirectory.com.au/

Most children don't do home schooling but there definately are some kids out there who do it. Public schools are funded by the government and usually the parents who send them have to pay either a very small amount of money or a 'donation' to the school. Private schools aren't funded by the government and so the parents have to pay the fees. For a private primary school the price can be around $800 a year. In a private highschool, it can be anywhere from $5000 - $20,000 per year. The school I go to is private but partially funded by the government, so it's not as expensive as other highschools. My parents pay about $6000. However some highschools can have very low prices ($1000-4000), but generally, you can attain a better education in schools priced over $5000. Also, some schools are co-ed which means that there are both male and female students. While other schools are same sex.

Those kinds of cliques are uniquelly American. But I suppose if your school absorbed American culture more, maybe you might get some. I don't reccommend that though. Just be glad you don't have them.
2 :
Maybe because U guys have better sense.
3 :
Really? That is so cool. I live in America and was always kind of a floater (could get along with anyone, and had good friends in lots of different cliques). People seem to really need to define themselves here, and label everyone around them; you're lucky if you don't have that.

Adelaide is a nice quite City. Everything closes at night. Life is slower. Melbourne is the opposite. Both have good schools. I'd be thinking about work more than Schools !!!!
2 :
There are plenty of good secondary and primary schools in both of theses cities, first find a good area to live in and then ask which local schools people in the neighbourhood think are best, then enrol your children. As far as cities are concerned Adelaide is a great place to live & visit. Adelaide has the lowest cost of living of all the mainland state capitals. South Australia is currently in a strong economic period, outperforming all other Australian states.
