Conditions for Middle School Students to Study in Australia and Applications for Studying in Australian Middle Schools

If junior high school students want to apply for studying in Australia, they also need to know the application requirements and materials in order to study in Australia smoothly. So how do junior high school students apply for studying in Australia? Let me talk about these conditions for studying abroad first.

I. Application Conditions and Materials

Australian junior high school students study abroad conditions:

1. Age requirement: The Australian Immigration Department requires that students enrolled in 10 grade courses should be under 18 years old.

2. English requirements:

A: Middle schools in Australia have different language requirements. Generally speaking, if the language reaches IELTS 5.0, you can start high school courses. If the language can't meet the requirements, we must take language classes first according to the language level. Applying for a visa requires IELTS 4.0.

B: The Australian Immigration Department stipulates that China students are exempt from IELTS in senior high school courses. The following conditions are required: (1) The school applying has the right of IELTS exemption recognized by Australia, and the agency using it has the same right, so there is no need to provide a letter of recommendation; (3) English scores have reached a satisfactory level. (2) The English score in the junior high school diploma is above 75.

Application materials for Australian junior high school students studying abroad:

1, birth notarization;

2. Middle school transcripts or official documents in Chinese and English;

3. Public certificate of junior high school graduation certificate;

4. Original IELTS test report or official certificate (if any, please provide it);

5. Application form;

6. passport photo (submitted according to the requirements of the applying school).

Second, the application matters

1. Questions about guardians and accompanying students

For students under the age of 18, according to the requirements of the visa policy for middle school students, the guardian documents should be submitted at the same time when submitting visas. The guardian can be arranged by the school, or by the parents of the students or qualified relatives designated by their parents. 3.22 After the implementation of the New Deal, it is difficult for students studying in grades 7-9 in Australia to arrange host families because of their young age. Australian schools will require parents to accompany them according to the policies of different States and the requirements of colleges and universities. Only a few private or boarding secondary schools can directly accept China students from Australian junior high schools.

2. The visa review level is lowered, and the economic guarantee requirements are adjusted.

According to the New Deal implemented on March 22nd, 57 1 visas for studying in Australian secondary schools were all reduced from the original four-level examination level to the third-level examination level, so the funding requirement for student applicants was reduced from 18 months to 12 months. However, in view of this change, the funds for the third-level trial of applicants must be provided by the applicant himself or his close relatives.

Third, the application advantages

1, humanized curriculum arrangement

Like China, secondary schools in Australia are composed of six years, but the difference is that junior high schools in Australia are four years (grade 7- 10) and senior high schools are two years (grade 1 1- 12).

From the middle school curriculum in Australia, interest is the biggest motivation for learning. For junior high school students, first of all, they should choose a major that is easier to play and master in combination with their professional expertise and hobbies, so that they can study more easily, adapt to unfamiliar learning environment as soon as possible, gradually enhance their psychological quality, and also increase their parents' self-confidence. Most Australian secondary schools offer more than 100 courses for children to choose from.

In addition to choosing compulsory courses, students can also choose elective courses according to their future development direction and hobbies to meet their interest needs while studying.

2. Get to know Australian university education early.

Undergraduate study is a challenge for Australian students who are born and raised in Australia, let alone international students.

Studying in Australian middle schools enables students to have a real understanding of teachers' teaching methods and evaluation system through the tempering of middle schools, especially how to choose courses under the credit system that China students are unfamiliar with, so that they can enter universities more like a duck to water.

On the other hand, Australia's high school graduation system can be double-selected. After finishing grade 1 1, students can not only choose grade 12 according to the normal curriculum, but also choose the pre-university courses of famous Australian universities, so the chances of entering excellent universities are higher.

3. Low language requirements.

Domestic students can apply for Australian secondary schools without taking IELTS (some elite private secondary schools need to provide AEAS or IELTS scores). In order to better help students transition and adapt to school study, Australian secondary schools have arranged language courses for international students for about 20 weeks, and this language course is generally compulsory.

After graduating from high school in China, if you want to apply for Australian universities directly, you generally need to provide IELTS scores of 6-6.5.

4. Multicultural environment

In the teaching environment of Australian middle schools, lectures, notes, discussions, homework and exams of foreign students are all done in English.

In addition, most life scenes (shopping, banks, post offices, transportation, travel and parties, etc. ) is also done in English. So you can lay a good foundation for English learning.

Australia is an immigrant country. International students live in a diversified environment and atmosphere for a long time, and the multicultural understanding gained will become the wealth of international students all their lives.
