Veterinary School (undergrad)?
My understanding of Vet School is that one must take an undergrad of pre-vet courses (bachelor of science) and THEN apply to a vet school. But I've also heard that schools in Australia skip the pre-vet and incorporate it into their vet program. So in all it takes about six years. Is this correct? and are there any other schools like this?

In the US? No. Are you in australia? Their system and the UK one are different from ours (their MD is also different).

In the US, vet is a post-graduate course only. That means that you first get your bachelors degree in any subject, while also taking the vet school pre-req classes. Then you apply to vet school. In many other countries, vet (and medicine, and law) are not post-grad courses. They are undergraduate courses. So in Australia, you major in veterinary science for your bachelors degree. This is true in AU, in the UK, and throughout Europe. However, if you plan do to a professional course overseas, check first to be sure that you can practice in your home country with that overseas degree. Can you practice at all? If you can, do you have to jump through certain hoops first? In addition, depending on what country you're actually from, you may not be allowed entry into a medically-related course in certain overseas countries. For example, most (all?) med schools in the UK will not admit students from the US. They only admit foreign students if the student is coming from a country where the medical education is sub-par. I'm not sure of vet education - that, you'd need to check - but I wanted to raise the issue so you can ask the right questions.

Most Australian veterinary courses are undergrad but they have only limited places - for instance there are only 130 places in NSW of which only 10 are dedicated for overseas students. Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland and WA only have a single vet science (I think all are undergrad). South Australia has a postgrad degree but their intake is only 40 - so the competition is extremely hard especially for international students. In general, 10-20% of places are for international, 30% are for either postgrads coming in or people not straight from school and the rest are for students from school.

I live in australia... I'm assuming you mean University seeing as though you are 19? I think your best bet would be to go on exchange. I am currently in Australia trying to go to America. I am able to get an australian government loan for my uni fees and seeing as though its exchange I pay Australian fees and get any government payments I would usually get here... even though I'm in america. I am sure wherever you are things would sort of be the same on exchange? I think that's the only thing you can consider. As I can't afford to study abroad as the fees involved are rediculous. Exchange is sort of just australian expenses... but overseas (obviously not food, rent though). Australias rent is fairly expensive in some parts but there will always be somewhere to go I'm sure. So there is hope, you just need to act smart and know how to spend your money!! With exchange you have to show less in your bank account then studying abroad, which is good. Don't think you can work while you study though. Speak to any career advisor, they will guide you :)

Are there primary schools in Australia for Performing Arts
Are there primary schools in Australia for Performing Arts?
I know there's plenty when it comes to high schools, but what about the younger ones? I know general school work is important but my stepdaughter has several speech, communication & learning difficulties & I can see that she's never going to be a good scholar. She's 7 & probably at the communication & understanding level of about a 3yr-old. But she can play the guitar a little, she can sing (not great with the language though!) she's a really fast runner / great at sport & really exceptional on the drums for her age - absolutely loves the drums! There is no school band at her current school, only the choir & most other schools in our area don't let kids in the band until yr 5 or 6 - She's still in Kindy because she repeated. She has great coordination with her body but not so much with reading, maths, english & all those other things at school. We try to encourage her at school but she just doesn't understand anything, it breaks my heart because she sees all the other kids her age reading & doing the normal academic things for that level & her self esteem is suffering & making it even harder for her to learn. It's gotten to the stage where she HATES school and will cry or make excuses not to go... And she's barely started her school life! Are there schools for young children with a focus on music, sports or other performing arts?
