How about studying in Australian high schools?

Australia has beautiful scenery, climate adaptation and good social order. It has always been the most popular country to study abroad except Britain and the United States. Many families choose to go to Australia for high school. How about studying in Australian high schools? Let's get to know each other.

I. Introduction of Australian Senior High School Education System

Secondary schools in Australia are generally divided into two types: public and private. Public secondary schools are managed by the Education Bureau, giving priority to meeting the needs of local students. When the enrollment quota is available, this quota will be used to recruit international students. Private secondary schools are generally established and managed by churches, enterprises or private individuals, and also enroll students locally and overseas.

Private secondary schools in Australia account for more than one third of all schools. Most private secondary schools rank higher than public secondary schools, and their hardware facilities and teachers are stronger than public secondary schools, but their tuition fees are correspondingly more expensive. Of course, this does not mean that public secondary schools are necessarily better than private secondary schools. Many top secondary schools in various states are public.

Second, the advantages of studying in Australian high schools

1. Overall improvement of English ability

English learning is closely related to age and language environment. For example: 1. In the teaching environment of Australian senior high schools, lectures, notes, discussions, homework and exams of international students are all done in English. 2. Most life scenes (shopping, banks, post offices, transportation, travel and parties, etc. ) is also done in English. Therefore, students' English learning potential and ability will be fully reflected in a pure English environment.

2. Humanized curriculum and course selection system

Like China, secondary schools in Australia are composed of six years, but the difference is that junior high schools in Australia are four years (grade 7- 10) and senior high schools are two years (grade 1 1- 12). During the two years of high school, students generally need to take 6-8 academic courses, and the curriculum has the following characteristics:

(1) The course covers a wide range. Larger high schools can offer 50-60 courses for students to choose from, and smaller high schools can also offer at least 30 courses.

(2) There are few required courses. For high school students in Australia, only English is a compulsory course, and other subjects can be regarded as elective courses.

(3) There are many elective courses. For senior high school students in Australia, except English, all other courses are optional courses. Generally speaking, there are three points to consider when choosing a course. The first is students' interest, the second is students' learning ability, and the third is to combine the majors that students want to study in college in the future.

3. Humanized evaluation and continuing education system

In Australia, high school students are assessed through the continuous assessment system. In the past two years in high school, students' usual homework, attendance rate, usual exams, final exams and final exam scores will affect students' grades from high school to college to varying degrees.

4. Improve the ability to live independently

Studying in Australia will help students to exercise their ability to live independently and will be of great help to adapt to society in the future. Students' self-care ability has been exercised, and the experience of studying abroad is undoubtedly of great value to the development of students' own personality. We often see students coming back from winter and summer vacations, feeling that people have become polite, more respectful of other people's opinions and feelings, and some originally shy children are willing to take the initiative to deal with others.
