1. There are generally two types of high schools in Australia to apply for, private middle schools and government public middle schools:

1. Elite type: elite private high schools

Program analysis: There are dozens to hundreds of government-funded public schools in every state in Australia, distributed in various regions of each state. The main enrollment targets are local students in Australia.

1. Students who have graduated from junior high school or are currently studying in high school before admission, and who are no more than 18 years old when entering the 10th grade, are eligible for admission. No more than 19 years old in Grade 11 (except Western Australian government secondary schools). 2. Australian high schools do not allow skipping classes. For example, when a student graduates from junior high school when he comes to Australia, he should enter the 10th grade, but not the 11th grade in Australia.

3. Australian high schools allow backward study, but the backward study time must be less than 18 months. For example, when students go to Australia and have just completed their second year of high school in China, they can go to Australia to study for their second year of high school again, but the time required to study backwards cannot exceed one and a half years (based on the time when they enroll in the main course).

4. The duration of studying high school in Australia must not be less than 16 months, so you must apply for admission in the third semester of grade 11 at the latest, that is, July.

5. An IELTS score of 5 is required to enter the 10th grade, and an IELTS score of 5.5 is required to enter the 11th grade. If the applicant is under 16 years old or has a junior high school English score higher than 75, he or she can apply for an IELTS exemption.

6. If the applicant is under 18 years old, a guardian in Australia needs to be arranged. Generally, you need to decide who will be the guardian when you apply for school. Parents can choose to have the school or education bureau arrange a guardian. If parents have a designated guardian in Australia, they must apply in advance and have it reviewed. Qualified guardians must be over 21 years old, be Australian citizens and have a clean criminal record.
