Education

All parents want the best education for their children

The best possible education will allow your children to reach their full potential. Australia's premier education and training system ensures Australia's work force is amongst the most highly educated and skilled in the world and Melbourne’s 64 campuses ensure a pipeline of skilled graduates. If you plan correctly your children’s education in Australia can be affordable.

Primary and Secondary Schools
All Australian children are entitled to a free Government funded primary and secondary school education. Melbourne’s government school system is, in many ways, equal or superior to private schools in other countries.

Tertiary Schools
Melbourne has become one of the preferred major cities in the world for university studies. There are an abundance of campuses that offer a wide range of courses and our degrees and diplomas are recognised worldwide. Furthermore, students studying in Australia enjoy a less expensive education compared to those in the United States or United Kingdom and surveys show that students in Australia are far more gracious and hospitable.

Those students who choose Australia to study will also appreciate our position in the Asia-Pacific which means keeping in contact with family and friends is easy will only a small difference in time zones.

Summary
After you buy a Townshend Home Investment, your child comes to Melbourne, resides in the property and pays the repayments on the loan and education costs. This property grows at 7.5%*. Taking into account the capital growth that covers the education part of the cost, after the forth year you can either sell the property for a profit or maintain it and allow it to grow in capital appreciation. Your child walks away with their education being paid for and a compounding property investment. You may also wish to consider offsetting some of the repayment costs by having home stay students paying weekly boarding fees.
