Default Holiday visa with school age children?

Hi everyone, We are travelling to Australia next year with three school age children. We will be staying for 3 months for business activities, does anyone know what are the options for schooling on a standard holiday visa? I was planning on talking to their current school about homeschooling but was wondering if they're able to school over there?
We will be going to Queensland if that changes things
Thank you
Jen

Info on ETA (601 visa) here - https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/601- - which does say you can study for up to 3 months in some circumstances. Can't see if it says what they are though.

Yes, they can attend school in Queensland while they're on Visitor Visas but it will cost you..

Yes.
•engage in business visitor activities while in Australia provided you: ◦do not work for or provide services to, a business or organisation
◦do not sell goods or services to the public.


Business visitor activities include:
•making general business or employment enquiries
•investigating, negotiating, signing or reviewing a business contract
•activities carried out as part of an official government-to-government visit
•participating in conferences, trade fairs or seminars, as long as you are not being paid by the organisers for you participation.
