4 :
seriously look for a school that is going to help advance you in your career choice I am really sick of international students studying in Australia and party all night and then disruptive in lectures and tutes. If you want to party stay in your own country! Otherwise come and pay the money for uni to LEARN!!
5 :
Australian universities have a culture of partying, with a week long orientation week party (o-week) and regular events at the campus bar throughout the year. However unlike the US most people don't live on campus so you don't get the same sort of vibe, but a lot depends on the crowd you are with.

Are all catholic schools in Australia private

Are all catholic schools in Australia private?
We were talking about this at my art class today, and I was pretty sure they were, but someone told me they're not. Are they? I mean, they can't have compulsory religious teaching if you fall into that catchment area, right?

All catholic schools in Australia are private. Government schools here are all non-denominational. However some kind of optional religious education is normally available, particularly in primary school.
2 :
Yes catholic schools are classified as private. We don't pay absorbent fees as actual private schools but its semi-private to be honest we don't get the same amount of funding as public but same as private but our school fees aren't that high. And yes religion is COMPULSORY, if you try to argue then generally the question would be "why did u come to a catholic school?" If you go to a Christian affiliated school (Knox, Syd Grammer etc) not catholic religion subject is mostly optional.
3 :
Yes. The word catholic in itself means universal so all Catholic schools are parochial or private school world wide.

none.
2 :
Only private schools around Bondi have boarders look up Reddaham House, SCEGS and Cranbrook for a start you could also check Catholic Education, they're all fairly good schools (not as good at selective state schools through) and are generally quite expensive
3 :
there are plenty but they will depend on your gender and where you are from. If you are a girl try SCEGGS, Kincoppal or St Vincents (but i think for Vinnies you have to be from the country) And if you a boy try Shore, Cranbrook or Joeys [st. josephs] But be prepared to pay $20 000+ a year for years 11 + 12
4 :
i have heaps of friends that go to boarding school. for you i would say Kincoppal. Its in rose bay and the girls go to bondi beach or junction every weekend nearly, or whenever. i dunno about music and drama but it is a really good school. be prepared to pay $30++ grand a year. there are only 3 boarding schools i know of in sydney that are under thirty grand. email me if you wanna know more! :)

OBGYN in Australia requires 4 years med school, then 3 years to specialise and another 6 years residency

OBGYN in Australia requires 4 years med school, then 3 years to specialise and another 6 years residency?
period? so this means that they have an experienced physicians mentoring new OBGYNs? What if you were to take time off due to pregnancy, children, etc during these 6 years?

There is also a 2-6 year RMO/JMO period after med school and intern year (5 not 4) to get enough experience in order to "beat" the other applicants for the 30-40 spots in the country to get a place in the program. There is usually a time limit from start to finish that if you go over - thats it. Many of these programs have a mandate to have a certain number of FTE people in the system at any one time but they also have a cap on the number of people. So if 50% have been on maternity leave during their training then the organisation will not have met their service requirements and therefore they will have their funds reduced. As such their may be selection pressure to choose some people into the cohort who are unlikely to need/require materinary leave. The point to remember here - is that the training costs to create a qualified OBGYN is around 500-600K and so the government must choose where to put these funds wisely.
