Shouldn't think it'd do much damage for her HSC prep - might even advantage her but the timing might be a bit tricky for GCSEs - whether she would be able to start at the beginning of the process, even if she doesn't finish it.

 

If you were to stay longer then she would really need to get A Levels to be sure not to disadvantage herself with respect to Uni or you would need to send her back to do yrs 11 & 12. I wouldn't want to be relying on GCSE conversions for Uni - it's only recently that anyone seems to have given any credit for them at all, they never used to!

 

Foreign country, totally different system!

Thanks Quoll I did think along the same lines myself. i.e she does 12mths in UK and then when she gets back her she still has 2 years to "catch up".

Hi All

I have been offered a 12 month stint working back in the UK and I am thinking of taking it up but my 14yr old daughter is in Year 9 at school here in Sydney. I have a number of questions which hopefully someone can shed some light.

Does anyone know what the impact a move to the UK will be on her HSC preparation? I would send her to school in the UK and from memory as she turns 15 this Oct so she would start 4th year of comprehensive school, which is year 10, I believe. Does the UK follow the same program of work as here especially for Maths and English so that she would not miss out on too much?

Also what if the contract is extended for a further 12 months (that has not been discussed) how would that affect her HSC prep? Would she be able to take her GCSEs instead and would these count towards a University place here in Aus?

TIA

John
