an oncologist is a DR. so you have to go to medical school and specialize in oncology. it takes a LONG LONG time. but good luck
2 :
As the person mentioned, you need to first go to Medical School and become a qualified Doctor. Oncology is a further specialization that you can do only after finishing Medical School. Check the link below for what it takes to be an oncologist.
3 :

Bachelor of Medicine (6 years) intern year, 3-5 years as an RMO in a hospital and then get accepted to a Residency program which will be 3-4 years.

Is Hillsong Church close to your area by any chance? Because Im almost positive they have catechism classes there. The 2 branches are both in Sydney. IDK how far Sydney is from Melbourne.
2 :
let me make some calls, i'll tell you later
3 :
I'm glad you are asking ....we have been praying alot for Australia. God bless in your search for Christ.
4 :
Hi, You might not get a lot of answers from Melbourne or that area, but call your local Catholic church and I'm sure you will get some answers. Here in the US that is what we'd do and would find most every church would have an RCIA program. I'm not sure if that is what they call them in your country, but I'm sure it is similar. Good luck in you endeavor. You have my prayers! Ed
5 :
Contact the diocese of the Cathedral in the city - they will have the contact information for you.

A top selective school or a top private school

A top selective school or a top private school?
while selective schools value academic excellence, private schools teach values. Would you choose to go to a top private school if you're granted scholarship or would you go to a top selective school. What are your views on both. This is refering to Schools in NSW, Australia based on the 2008 HSC results =]

Values? What are your parents for? I teach my kids the values I want them to have/understand. If they had a teacher who dared to contradict what I wanted taught I'd remove them from the class. Schools should teach. I'll teach values (or outsource it to my church). The educational system should educate.
2 :
I went to your run of the mill public school. No that's a lie. I went to a good public school that was way out of area. No way in hell would my parents ever have let me go to my local public school. They chose the school I went to because it offered me the opportunities they thought I deserved. I was slightly musically inclined so they sent me to a school with a strong performing arts, sound academics and competent sport. And the school were nazi's about uniform and values and stuff. I believe i came out a well rounded and happy person. I came out with a 90 UAI and got into the course I wanted. I could not have asked for a better education. So I would say a top selective school. I'm at Sydney University now which is the breeding ground of the kids from the elite private schools. It's incredible how naive about everything they are. They're disgusted that they have to walk through Redfern and its "filth". My french partner is from the north shore and when I said I went to school at Woolooware she had no idea where it was. Which is fair enough. I then asked if she knew where Cronulla was and she just looked at me. I then asked if she knew where the airport was. Still she was lost. After sitting there for 30 seconds she asked me if Cronulla was out west. I mean jesus christ... If you go to James Ruse however you're going to be in an insanely competitive environment. I would hate that, I'm not an academic. But in saying that you're basically guaranteed a 95+ uai by going there. But i don't think it's worth it. I'll take my 90 uai and a high school education that was fun thanks.

Depends what you wish to do with it. If you are applying for a job where the pre-req is ANY degree, then yes. To get a job in Social work - not a chance - you need an Australian degree for this.
2 :

I don't see why it wouldn't. Assuming that you are doing a bachelors, an American bachelors is at least 4 years long. In Australia they are only 2-3 years in duration and require a lot less coursework. So your degree is much better in that sense.

Is it at all possible for me to do home schooling in Australia

Is it at all possible for me to do home schooling in Australia?
I'm 16, in NSW, doing grade 11. Found I just can't cope with the school. It's the only one in my area, 3 hour commute, the teachers are bullies and don't stop the boys from sexually harrasing the girls (taken to kicking them where it hurts if they try touching me). Can't complain to anybody: everyone from class teacher to the principal don't care. I'm smart; I taught myself the entire grade 10 first semester curriculum in a week after not going that semester, and I want to finish school, but I absolutely cannot cope where I am. It's get an alternative, or drop out. Any suggestions?

It is very much possible to home school in Australia. Start with the Home Education Association for NSW to learn about schools, legal policies and support groups. Here's the website: http://www.hea.asn.au/resources/results_sg.asp?state=NSW You can also go through the New South Wales Homeschooling network for information about schools and further support groups. http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/regional/NewSouthWales.htm

There are also online schools that accept students from a variety of countries.

Yes, it's definitely possible to homeschool in Australia. I'm 17, Australian and have been home educated all my life. The only thing I would say to you now, this late in your education, is that you can *not* do the HSC if you're homeschooled. That's not a problem - my three eldest siblings have had no problems getting into uni without a School Certificate of any description. However it is something just to be aware of if you've always had your heart set on getting your HSC. PS Be very, very careful about signing up with a homeschooling program from overseas. Some are accepted by the Education Department and others aren't. I've definitely heard of homeschoolers from NSW (which as in most things is the most bureaucratic state in the Commonwealth when it comes to home education!) who've enrolled in American homeschooling programs only to have the Department of Education brand their education as 'unacceptable'. PPS If your closest government school is three hours away from home (3 hours to get to school, 3 hours to get home again), are you not entitled to AIC? Or the boarding school allowance? We get it over here cuz our closest government school is more than 2 hours away from our property. Actually it's measured from the end of your driveway. Anyway if you are entitled to AIC you should be entitled to enrol for free in Distance Education as an 'isolated child' (and still get your HSC that way).
