moved from american to australia, new school in 11th grade


moved from american to australia, new school in 11th grade?
okay so i was born in australia but when i was 9 i moved to america for 7 years, now i just moved back to australia last month ill be starting school on monday, ill be going into 11th grade, which means all the kids there would have already known each other for 4 years, and ill just be "that new kid" im a little nervous, and im kinda shy, but i think i could make conversation if i had too any tips/advice? also would the fact that i lived in america for 7 years, and have a kinda strong accent help? or not? thank you :)

They won't think anything of it. In fact they might be impressed but a fellow countrymate living outside the home front for a while. Tell them all kinds of cool things you did here...all the customs that are not usual for AU but are in the US. It won't be as bad as you think. Accent aside, it's the same language. Just as long as you didn't forget the lingo you'll be fine.
