Hi Karen
Its not silly at all. I studied the Oz gov education website and couldnt find it anywhere!
In the end I emailed a high school in Oz in the state where we're going and asked them.

As far as I know (and I'm not sure here) in Perth its yr8 at 12 yrs and in Brisbane and NSW its yr7 at 11yrs, not sure about Melbourne and could well be completely wrong about the others (except nsw).

Also, you can move them up or down a year as you see fit, I think.

I've just re-read this answer and not sure its gonna help you!
