Re: british curriculum schools in sydney
its quite funny, but reading this it made me think about the Uk, are there australian/american/german schools in the uk?? I can understand the worry, but i dont see the kids in these countries lacking anything. They seem to be able to add 2 and 2 together. When in rome do as the romans do. !!! Take the good out of what the system has to offer.

In saying all this there was a study done last week on Today tonight (or similar) about education within Oz and lucky for me NSW did well in it and the standards do seem to vary state to state. But again this is also the case in the UK and at the end of the day a lot is down to the kids and wether they want to learn. Mine do not better or worse than UK.

Re: british curriculum schools in sydney
My message wasnt directed directly at the OP but in general as there has been a lot of debate on this lately. Unfortunatley its the price you have to pay if you are in a situation where you move around alot. Australia is almost the same as the UK and therefore I would deem it not appropriate to have an english school in an english speaking country where the same subjects are studied, on the other hand places like singapore, europe and many other places have english or international schools which is obviously needed for the language barrier. Its an individual choice and most people move to oz because they want to not need to, therefore if they dont like the education system or think Uk ed is better then they dont have to come. Australians dont have any probs getting jobs when moving to or working in the UK.

Except on those rare occasions when we win, of course, and then it is a matter of real global significance.

A simple question was asked about schools,not an uncommon question on this site.Cannot believe the comments that have arisen from it.

Quite.For many families who move regularly parents try to find schools which offer a similar education to to that of their home country.This helps with the relocation and the settling process.

Google schools/nsw/etc and tap in your specific school requirements - you are bound to find some schools which match your criteria. It may even be worth a pre-move visit to check out the shortlisted schools.We spent months trawling school websites from the Uk and the children are now settling into a very happy school.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Anyway I hope all of you find what you are looking for.
