Guest Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hey, So, just wondering how school works here in AUS. Like, what grade do you graduate, what are the schools called, Middle school, High school, Secondary school, etc. etc. Just basic info. Considering I've come from the US, I may need to know as much info as possible. Ta C.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 You graduate at the end of year 12 and then are eligible to go to University if you meet the entry requirements. Kindy is part of the primary school - at the end of year 6 (from next year) in WA you move to High School, it used to be you moved to High School at the end of year 7 in WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
