Guest tinbasher Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi Jess Just go with your parents to the schools and see which one you all like best. That is the best way to do it as everyone wants different things from their education. You'll be fine, I know it seems scary at first but with you family besides you, you'll make the right choice. :biggrin: Mrs TinB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jess :D Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hey! thanx but still a little confused about school years etc! i know that there TEEs that i will have to do to get into university (which i would like to do), but after GCSE do i go into year 11 or year 10?! i will probably be starting after their spring break so would i be able to pass year 11 exams?! yes going around the schools will deffinately be a good idea hey but would i have time before i had to start school?! so will there be enough time to apply for a space etc Thanx for the help Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samozsoon Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi Jess I have a 15yo daughter too who will be doing GCSEs this yr. What I have found out is that your GCSEs will go towards the High School Cert (or state equivelant) so you should only have to do the last yr of school (yr12 I think) before going to uni. But if you're not sure you will manage then you can do the last 2 yrs if you want. In oz they are not so bothered about what yr you're in, with some kids staying behind a yr if the havent done so well and some moving up if theyre quite clever. This is just what I've heard, we're not in oz yet but hope to be by the end of the yr. Remember to just enjoy the experience and dont worry to much, it will all work out fine.

ali Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hi Jess, It may be worth your parents contacting a couple of the schools in the areas you may be living in. My daughter started year 7 at high school. prior to coming here, but year 7 here is last year of primary, the principle was kind enough to set her up with a pen pal who she could contact etc., prior to moving so she had an idea of what it was like but also knew someone for her first day.
