AA Education Network can assist you to find public or private schooling, which allow you or your child to study as an international student with the possibility of receiving government funding. The schools provide a safe, caring and culturally diverse environment for young students. Australian schools cater for a variety of subjects, they have highly trained and experienced personnel, and the most current technology available in Australia.

Australian Government legislation requires schools to ensure high educational standards, satisfactory premises and financial protection if international students are enrolled. They also need to provide dedicated English language support. As there are over 12,000 international students in Australian schools and waiting lists are common it is recommended to enrol as early as possible.

The national curriculum framework ensures that subjects in eight Key Learning Areas are taught: English, Mathematics, Social Studies and the Environment, Science, Arts, Languages Technology and Personal Development (including Health and Physical Education), which are intensified at secondary level.

As the Australian school system provides vocational training in many secondary schools, students are in even more demand by employers due to their practical and career-orientated skills.

Children may start with preschool followed by 12 years of primary and secondary school. In year 12, you may sit for a government-endorsed certificate that provides possible entry to an Australian or international university, vocational education or training institution.

The academic year is divided into four terms and runs from late January/early February until December; between the terms is a short holiday and a long summer holiday from December until the new year starts. School times are generally Monday to Friday from 9.00 am to 3.30 pm each school day.

Fees vary from $5,000 - $11,000 per year for primary and junior secondary schools and from AUD $6,000-AUD$13,000 per year for secondary schools.
