Hi SENTHAN and welcome to Expat.com!

I wish you good luck.

Regards,
Harmonie.

POM has quite many families.  And they have international schools.  With that age, your family will have plenty of things to do. 

I'm in Lae, so I'm not as familiar with POM, but it's got a very large and social expat community.

That's good news. I have accepted the job and will be moving to POM next month and planning bring  my family after few months.

Thank you for your information.

That's great!  If you travel to Lae, please let me know!

Will highly appreciate help.

Mate there's a school by the name of Ela Murry International School. Which has all expatriate teacher's from grade 1-8.I think the education standard is the same as NSW.. Most expatriates kids go there.. There's a high school too, Port Moresby International High School.. anything else just ask.

Thanks Rodney,

Not a problem, the high school has grade 7-12. Most expat kids go there plus the wealthy Papua New Guinean's kids. It's more like a private school.

If you need any other info just ask.
