Schools

Parents will have peace of mind knowing that schools in Australia develop the individual talents of young students in a safe, caring and culturally diverse environment. Australian schools also offer a wide range of subjects, highly trained and experienced teachers, and the use of state-of-the-art technology and specialised laboratories.There are two broad categories of schools in Australia - government and private schools.

Both accept international students and receive government funding. Most schools are co-educational with the exception of some private secondary schools. Private secondary schools are usually not co-educational and often have a religious affiliation.

All schools accepting international students must be government-registered and have to meet special requirements under Australian Government legislation ensuring high educational standards, satisfactory premises and financial protection. Another requirement is to provide, or have access to, specialist English language support.

There are over 12,000 international students in Australian schools. Some schools and colleges cater exclusively for international students. Others have long traditions of exchanging their own students with international students. School enrolments may be limited simply because the availability of spaces is at a premium. It is wise to make your enrolment enquiries early and inquire about waiting lists.
