There are many elective courses: for Australian high school students, except English, all other courses are elective courses. Generally speaking, there are three points to consider when choosing a course. The first is students' interest, the second is students' learning ability, and the third is to combine the majors that students want to study in college in the future.

Class size difference: The number of senior high school students in Australia is mostly below 25, which is conducive to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, communication between teachers and students, and more conducive to stimulating students' potential.

Academic pressure is different: in Australia, academic performance is of course very important, but the school also attaches great importance to the development of students' independent thinking and creativity, and encourages students to think and innovate. In addition to exams, students' completion of homework is also an important factor in evaluating their academic performance. Students must express their views on various subjects through homework, and study relevant contents to draw certain conclusions.

The difference between the college entrance examination system: Australian high schools are divided into two grades. The first is that the average score accounts for 100% of the total score, such as the capital region (Canberra), Queensland (Brisbane) and Tasmania. Students who take part in high school courses in these areas will master the fate of further studies after two years as long as they devote themselves to their daily studies. The second is that the average score is 50% and the final grade is 50%, such as New South Wales (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne).
