Moving from Canada to Australia for school.

Moving from Canada to Australia for school...?
I plan on moving to Australia for school next year and cannot decide where i want to go... I wont have a car so i prefer a city that is not too hard to get around but is still exciting to live in... I am considering Gold Coast, Brisbane, or Wollongong but have also heard good things about Perth. Any suggestions ?????

If you want to get around by public transport, forget the Gold Coast and Wollongong. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide all have good public transport systems in most areas. I don't know about Perth, I haven't used public transport over there. Perth, however, is very expensive now and a long long way from anywhere else.

All schools are as equally good in all states therefore all you need to do is choose what life style you want.

IF you like it HOT all year around - what about Cairns in North Qld? There are direct flights into Cairns as it's an international airport. We have an excellent Campus and University here. Public transport buses are great and you would be living in a tropical lifestyle. Part-time jobs, no problems.. Browse through the websites and see what you think. James Cook University - http://www.jcu.edu.au Cairns: Thing to see and do http://www.tropicalaustralia.com.au/things_to_do_and_see Cairns Visitor Centre http://www.cairnsvisitorcentre.com Cairns Esplanade http://www.cairnsesplanade.com Port Douglas Info (not far from Cairns) http://www.portdouglaseguide.com/ this site is also very helpful for people who have not been here before - The A to Z guide of information on moving to Australia! http://www.beluba.com.au/ww3/arrive.htm

Wollongong is a great place to study and does have public transport, and is only a 80 minute train trip to Sydney by train. Lovely beaches good nightlife and lots of uni students I'm from there but living in Canada right now
5 :
the Southern cross university is located in NSW with campuses in Lismore and Tweed Heads - read the two websites to find out more. Lovely as Perth is, If your time is limited I think you will see more of the country basing yourself on the central east coast Have a look! studyabroad.scu.edu.au www.ifsa-butler.org/programs/australia

School is divided into two stage - Primary and High school. Primary school goes from kindergarten to grade six (from ages 5-12), and then high school from grade seven to twelve. Most, if not all, schools have a uniform. Some are more strict than others. There isn't a whole day every week for sports, but in high school there is two or three hours a week where sport is compulsory until year twelve (sometimes eleven). In primary school there is a similar sport time and general activities each day. Each year there is one whole day for a sports carnival in both primary and high school, and a swimming carnival. If by college you mean secondary education (after year twelve) you can go pretty much wherever you want, as long as you get the marks required in your HSC (Higher School Certificate - year twelve exams/assesments) So, no, it is not that difficult to get into university if you know what you want to do and aim for the marks. If you don't get the marks, you can always find other ways in, like studying something with less marks required and then changing over. In Australia we have a system called HECS, where the Government pays for you degree and you repay it when you graduate and earn an income. But you can pay it all at once if you like and it will cost you less (still upwards of $10,000, depending what you study) Hope that answers your questions!

Well its very basic, when you are 5 you go into kindy to year 6 (primary school) then you go to high school which goes to year 7 to year 12. In year 11 you chose your subjects for the HSC which is a test that allows you to go to university. But in year 9 and 10 you can chose 2 or 3 electives, you still have to do all the boring subjects like Australian history and geography! my god it is boring! i want to learn about the world not just australia! if you fail any subject in year 11 you can't do it for year 12. In year 12 all your marks including tests and assessments go towards a uai which is your overall mark from year 12 and that determines what you can do in university. I think if you want to do law or medicine its something like 99.86 ( the top is 100) so it is hard! i am in year 10 now but i am doing a year 11 course.
