Who me? Mine is justified. Saved in nearly 2 years what it would take in nearly 5 in UK. I live in a bigger house, I live closer to work, I'm feeling a lot healthier for the pleasure. Is that justification enough?

But you feel it was necessary to question one or both of us about having to justify the move ?

I'm sure I could list other things, but that's enough for now...
I'm not sure what private schools cost in the Uk or Australia. Presumably the quality and price varies tremendously. A top end place like Scotch College in melbuourne is $28000 AUD from a quick google...bargain!

Even if I was a billlionaire I would not sent my child to such a place. I went to a valley comp and managed to get myself to Birmingham University. My wife is also state educated with degrees from Imperial college London (8th in the world rankings) and the University of Adelaide...

Private schools are cheaper in Oz. There is a comparison on another thread somewhere. You miss the point of private schools. Its not about getting you into uni, its about the extra opportunities it provides along the way. Sport, music, facilties, networks, etc

I'm well aware of what private schools are all about. In my opinion your life opportunites are dictated most by the quality of your parents. My dad an AAA qualified athletics coach, keen footballer and avid cricketer made sure my sister and myself got plenty of sporting chances I can assure you. I got into rugby, field hockey and swimming specifically to annoy him!

As I say the quality of the independent sector varies enormously. I've come plenty of lost souls that have gone to elite public schools. I used to room with a guy in halls who was a product of Stowe, spent the year smoking cannabis before failing and bailing...
