aboutStudying abroad in Australian primary and secondary schoolsArticles We at Newstarsec Group, as practitioners who have focused on Australian migration and study abroad for many years, have many articles introducing “hard knowledge” such as application procedures and school classifications. (For details, see:The “hard knowledge” about studying abroad in Australian junior/high schools that everyone wants to know | School application steps, visa application process, public school or private school?

In this article we want to look at it from another angle“Soft cognition”UnderstandLooking at international study in Australian primary and secondary schools, I hope it can help parents and students who want to know more about primary and secondary education in Australia, and make a preliminary judgment on whether they or their children are suitable to study in Australia.

International students in Australia.

10-year long-term development strategy


Let me introduce it hereAustralia’s 10-year long-term development strategy for international student education4 main aspects involved(Source: Australian Department of Education)
• Diversification
• Develop skills that are relevant to the Australian job market
• Student-centreed
• Student growth and global competitiveness


This article would like to focus on introducing“Student-centreed”and“Student Growth and Global Competitiveness”, I think this is also what many parents and students are concerned about.

Australian education system.

Pay attention to the comprehensive development of children


Based on my personal experience, these two points are reflected in all aspects of primary and secondary education in Australia.Schools and teachers will not just achieve a certain academic indicator (such as admission rate, etc.), but are more concerned aboutWhether the child can master basic knowledge, academic research ability, ability to summarize and discover, comprehensive accomplishment (sports, art, etc.), and willingness to serve the community/society in the primary and secondary education system.

I have been working in China for more than 20 years and have met many business owners. The reason why many children who studied abroad or grew up in Australia are more favoured by corporate employers (whether foreign companies or private enterprises) after entering the workplace is because of the foundation laid by primary and secondary education.

Attached are the evaluation criteria for the Science exam for Australian Grade 8 students, which you can see.Australian education has very high requirements for students’ comprehensive abilities.




Australia encourages diversified development of students,Provide students with a variety of resources based on their interests(Not only private schools, but also public schools also have various resources to provide students).

The following isAustralian public schools can provide basic coursesIt can be seenHumanities and social sciences, various language learning, technology, and art are all included in the curriculum of Australian schools., the school attaches great importance to the all-round development of children’s moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic qualities.It well meets the academic expectations of Asian parents.

Food.

Affordable price and balanced combination



In addition to their children’s academic development, many parents also care about some details of their children’s lives. For example, when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation, what Chinese people care about most is food. So how children eat in Australia must be a point of great concern to parents.In the picture above, we take a school in Queensland as an example to see what kind of food can children buy when they go to school in Australia?

As you can see from the picture above, the price is very affordable. Burgers and sandwiches are basically priced at 4 AUD, and other snacks are only about 2 AUD, and they pay great attention to children’s nutrition. The above menu is just part of it, there are many other healthy and safe foods for parents and children to choose from!

Studying abroad in primary and secondary schools.

Choose Australian environment

Best of Queensland




Speaking of Queensland, as the state with the fastest economic growth in Australia,Queensland is also the state that interstate migrants in Australia most want to come to.Coupled with the good government performance during the epidemic,In recent years, more and more international primary and secondary school students have come for consultation.

For this reason, I will take the Queensland Education Bureau’s examination requirements for primary and secondary schools as an example (education requirements are similar across states), so that more parents can understand the standard of Australian education.


five aspects

See if the child is suitable

Come to Australia to study


Here I suggest that when parents are considering studying abroad in primary and secondary schools in Australia, they can quickly judge whether their children are suitable and whether they are suitable to take the college entrance examination in Australia through the following points:
1. The age of children studying abroad
-Children who are over 6 years old can apply to study in Australia
-if alreadyClose to 17-18 years old, it is recommended to finish it in the countryhigh schoolOr use the college entrance examination scores to apply for undergraduate or preparatory courses in Australian universities.

2. Accompanying students and guardians
Primary school levelParents must accompany students or have local relatives as guardiansmiddle school stageHomestay options available, but from our experience,We recommend that parents accompany you or have local relatives as guardians.

3. Children’s English proficiency
If you come to primary school and public school, except for a few elite public schools,No language proficiency is required, just apply for admission directly.It is recommended that the lower the grade, the better, so that it is more convenient for childrenQuick language and integration with free language courses offered by the school
If your child is already in 5th grade, it is recommended that children need to have certain English communication skills).
If you come to middle school, most public schools do not require language scores, direct admission through interviews, or force students to take a 20-week preparatory course (if the intermediate exam meets the standard, the preparatory course can be ended early and entered into the main course). The preparatory course is taught entirely in English, with the main purpose of improving English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, and is supplemented by other subjects (mathematics, science, physical education).

4. The child’s own self-discipline
Dependence on mobile phones and electronic games should be as small as possible

5. Sports habits
