How does the public education school system work in Australia

How does the public education school system work in Australia?
Let's pretend for a moment: Yay, I'm finally old enough to go to school! How old am I? What grade am I entering? I'm moving right along and passing every year. What levels am I going through? [elementary, middle, high school?] What standardized tests am I taking? I'm thinking maybe I don't want to go to school anymore. What age or grade level am I required to reach by law? I've decided that I'll finish school after all. When do I apply to university? What's university like? Basically, how is school set up? And is it uniform throughout the country?

G'day, The beginning is pretty much the same for every states: Some start at 3yrs old with 3yrs-kindergarten, then 4yrs-kindergarten but kindy is not compulsory. 5yrs is Prep From 6yrs old it is Primary School, from Year 1 - Year 6 Then Middle School, from Year 7 - Year 9 Then High/Senior School, from Year 10 - Year 12 At the end of Year 12, every state has different High School exams that will determine the students' eligibility to enter the university & study of their choice. For example; University A has higher entry req. for medicine study than drama study. Another example; entry requirement for drama study is higher in University A than University B. You can stop school anytime, no minimum exit point. Hope this helps. Good luck...

How can I better prepare for my University degree (Psychology), while still at high school

How can I better prepare for my University degree (Psychology), while still at high school?
I really wanted to take Psychology as one of my subjects for Year 11 this year, but I live in a regional town in Australia and my high school doesn't offer it. I just thought it would look good on my University application if I had good grades in TEE Psych, but I can't do that now. What books can I buy that will help introduce the basics of Psychology? Or is there anything else I can do?

To be honest - what you learn in TEE Psych is covered in about the first week of a university course - there is no point trying to read up on this prior to going to uni - its a waste of time

G'day, Unfortunately you did not mention in which state do you want to study since you can check the tuition fees for international students on their website. For QLD: http://www.tafe.qld.gov.au/ For NSW: www.tafensw.edu.au For WA: http://www.tafe.wa.gov.au/ For SA: www.tafe.sa.edu.au For TAS: www.tafe.tas.edu.au Only in Victoria that you have to contact the colleges individually. Make sure that you find the information for international students, since the tuition fees are different. To apply you will need to complete the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic transcripts (in original language and in English) to the college you want to study in. The process will take abt 2-3 weeks, depending on the time of the year. Depending on where you come from, you might need to take an IELTS test and send the results once it becomes available. To get student visa, you will need to get the offer from the institute and pay the required fees. Once payment accepted, the institute will issue an eCOE for you to apply for student visa. You will need to take medical tests and submit the results with the eCOE and required documentations. Hope this helps. E-mail me at mikegun@studentfirst.com.au if you have further questions abt study in Australia. Good luck on your study and welcome to Australia :)
