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 :)

its the same in my school in the philippines. :)) but we're a private school. you could try wearing a cute necklace, just a simple one, not too big or flashy. or you could tie your hair in cute ways following the colors that're allowed. ^^ and catchy pins on your bag might help too.

Hi I'm answering u but i dn't know whether ur school will approve of this style. Fold ur sleeves in a way to make it become shorter but not till ur shoulders! wear short socks and have ur legs shaved, dn't let it become hairy, they look horrible! I dn't know how ur hair is but if u've long straight hair, tie a pony tail. also try different styles in ur hair, u can let it loose one day, the other day tie into a pony tail,and others, then u can use pins,clips etc in the colours that are allowed. Ok do tell me if these worked!

If you can wear jewelry, then green, yellow, and or white chunky jewelry would be cute (bracelets, necklaces, ect,). Layered green, yellow, and white thin belts, resting loosely on your hips would be cute too. Or one thick black one. If belts are aloud.

uhm...that's hard. I'm 14 too-that would really suck! This might be a dumb idea, but if you made a petition for your school and get it singed by everyone in your school(and parents too if they don't like the idea of their kids not being able to express them selves;to an extent) and write a letter to your principal voicing your concerns. I have done this before and it worked-but it was about keeping a female P.E teacher instead of a new male P.E teacher, idk why but that creeps me out! haha. Is it really that ugly? or can you just live with it and be confident in it..haha Good luck:)

Wow a public school that acts like a private =\ Well i live in Cairns, QLD..(yeah australia...where it's effing hot) and i go to the most 'prestigious' private school in the city. *rolls eyes* We pretty much have the same uniform..except we have junior and senior uniforms. No nail polish, no makeup, no jewellery, black leather shoes..etc etc. We got around the nail polish system. French nails! I don't know what your style is (or if you like french nails) but they should be allowed in your school, as my school allows it. Even a pink colour, close to your actual nail colour would work. Don't make it too dramatic, no blacks, blues, purples..yeah. (ew blue nailpolish) As for makeup, i'm pretty sure you're allowed foundation, at least.. -Foundation, curled eyelashes, eyeliner on top lasline, mascara, lip gloss or chapstick. They would allow that..you should see the chicks in the lower grade..they go overboard with eyeliner and they don't get in trouble. So i think that should be fine with your school. Your hair accessory colour should be okay as long as you have a good hairstyle. Have bangs covering your eyes or soft subtle layers framing your face. Do you have to tie your hair up? if you do, then have plaits..or a fishtail plait. =D Err..a messy bun always works..that's how i wear my hair =\ As for jewellery, just wear a necklace and say it's religious. xD my school's christian but they don't really care about necklaces as long as they're hidden.
