Conditions for senior high school students to study in Australia

As we all know, Australia is a very popular country for studying abroad. Studying in Australia is not only the choice of many college students, but also the choice of high school students. So what conditions do high school students need to study in Australia? Let's take a closer look at it!

First, the conditions for studying in Australian high schools

1. Age condition

Australia implements 12 years of compulsory national education, including 6 years in primary school and 6 years in secondary school (grades 7 to 12). The last two years 1 1 and 12 are considered high schools, preparing for the college entrance examination. That is, four years in junior high school and two years in high school. It should be noted that the Australian government requires that the study time of Australian high schools must exceed 16 months. Therefore, it is not allowed to directly enter 12 grade. At the same time, there are certain age requirements for entering Australian high schools. For example, your grade 12 cannot exceed 20 years old, your grade 10 cannot exceed19 years old, and your grade 10 cannot exceed 18 years old.

2. Language conditions

IELTS is the only officially recognized international language test in Australia, which means that all Australian institutions and immigration authorities recognize IELTS and have IELTS scores, which is conducive to the smooth application for visas.

If students are over 16 years old and their IELTS score is below 5.0, they need IELTS 4.0 transcripts. Before entering the main courses of senior high school, they should study language courses for no more than 30 weeks. After reading Chinese, I entered the main course of high school. However, if your IELTS score reaches 5.0, you can directly enter the Australian high school in 10 grade, and if your IELTS score reaches 5.5, you can directly enter 1 1 grade.

3. Economic situation

Australian high schools are divided into private and public schools. Almost two-thirds of Australian students attend public schools, and 65,438+0/3 students attend private schools. There are still great differences between different types of Australian study abroad schools in terms of fees and admission requirements, which should also be taken into account when applying for study abroad.

Second, the high school study in Australia.

Host families are the best choice for students who have just arrived in Australia.

Host families can generally provide 3 meals on weekends and 2 meals on working days, and the expenses are included in the accommodation fee without additional payment; Limited by Australian law, the host family must have corresponding accommodation conditions and necessary equipment for life; Most of the owners are locals, which is of great help to understand Australian social culture and improve English communication ability. Most of the host families are near the school, and almost all families have signed cooperation agreements with the school, so if there are problems, they can also ask the school teacher for help.

We must stick to our mission and responsibility of studying abroad-learning.

The learning experience provided by parents is the wealth accumulated in their life, and we should cherish it even more. Because the teaching methods and study arrangements in Australia are different from those in China, it is necessary to have strong consciousness and self-study ability after class. Students with poor psychological quality and adaptability are more likely to turn their attention to other aspects and neglect their studies.

Plan your study time reasonably.

Many students who have successfully graduated from local colleges have their own experiences. With unique learning experience, I suggest that you can often learn from them at the beginning of your study. At present, many Australian universities have specialized institutions to help international students in all aspects. Many teachers will give opinions and suggestions from the students' point of view.

English language ability is very important.

Learning English well and using it flexibly is especially important for future study. If English training courses are arranged before going abroad, it is suggested that it is best to take courses taught by all foreign teachers, so that not only can you exercise your listening and speaking ability to the maximum extent, but you can also feel the teaching mode of foreign universities in advance from the aspects of foreign teachers' teaching methods, study arrangements, performance evaluation and classroom atmosphere, which is very helpful for your study after going abroad.

Self-protection is very important when going out.

The overall security situation in Australia is far superior to that in China. Although major criminal cases rarely occur, there are not a few public security cases such as robbery. Therefore, as a foreign domestic student, I suggest that you try to keep a certain distance from them at the beginning of studying abroad, don't show off your wealth and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Third, the advantages of studying in Australian high schools

(1) Mature education system:

Australia became a member of the Commonwealth in 190 1. Since then, Australia has developed into an extremely multicultural country, providing people with diverse choices and endless opportunities. Australia has a mature education system and world-class education quality. Now there are more than 400,000 international students from more than 200 countries all over the world studying in Australia.

② Loose immigration policy:

Compared with other countries, Australia's immigration policy is relatively loose. Australia is also the only country in the world that guarantees international students to enjoy the world's top education by means of national legislation, and there are a series of relevant laws and regulations to protect the rights and interests of international students.

③ Rapid cultural transformation:

Compared with college students, children learn new languages faster than adults. Studying in Australia at the middle school stage can develop children's language ability more quickly, so that children can integrate into the English language and Australian local cultural environment as soon as possible.

(4) relaxed learning atmosphere:

Australian middle schools are set up to discover and cultivate children's hobbies, and there will be dozens of courses for students to choose from; The courses offered by middle schools in China are more focused on exam-oriented education. In junior high school in Australia, children will have a more relaxed learning atmosphere, flexible course selection system and all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique.

Most primary and secondary schools in Australia are full-time schools. Classes are held five days a week, and a year is divided into four semesters, during which there are short holidays.
