Here's a site you can search schools by state and what they offer. I haven't heard of any though. If I knew of any I would have been begging mum and dad to send me away!

Western Australia: Start School

Western Australia: Start School?
I have recently moved to western australia and I was wondering at what age do kids start school here? I know you finish school at 17 a year younger than over east (except in Queensland). But does that mean you start school at 5 turning 6 like they do over east or do you start at 4 turning 5?

Kids start year 1 when they are five turning six (if born before June-July) or 6 turning 7 (if born after June-July). I am not sure if it is june or july.

I have never heard of this happening in Australia. Otherwise it would have been all over the news. This would certainly be considered as a violation of someones rights, and the parents would jump up and down about it. Strip searching is only allowed at an airport by security officers. Or in a police station or jail. :-)

I cannot imagine any circumstances where any school needed to strip search a student. If a serious crime was suspected, the police should be dealing with it.
