Re: schooling
If you were to come over on a temporary visa you would have to pay an extra $4000+ per year on top of the voluntary and other contributions that the others have mentioned. As long as you're PR you're fine.
Our voluntary contribution for primary school is $112, then we had about an extra $80 for other random things and then little things crop up in the year like excursions and "incursions"!

Don't forget the education tax refund.
If you earn under the salary limit (family income under $98,769-$148,422 depending on # of kids) you can claim a maximum refund of $397 for each primary school child you have and you can claim a maximum refund of $794 for each secondary school child.
