Actually our public high school are NOT free for non-PR residents. You have to pay around 4-6K per year for a public school Australians pay nothing for (its 4K for grade 1 - increases for high school). That is a common misconception people have because Australians and PR visa holders pay nothing. If you are on a tourist visa, student visa, or non perm work visa (your parents that is) all children have to pay a significant amount to go to public school. That is why most international school students go to private school - as its not that much more (about 2x more). You will also be required to pay boarding costs which will be around 6-10K if you can get in (boarding places are competitive and international students are the last in line for these places).
