Many students apply to study in Australia when they are in high school. When is the best time for these students to apply?
Here is the time for you to apply for high school study in Australia. Please read it.
High schools in Australia are usually divided into 4 semesters, starting in January, April, July and October each year.
2. Application Cycle The application cycle for top universities in Australia is usually from 6 to 8 weeks, while it is usually about 4 weeks for other universities.
3. Preparation cycle For students applying for foreign high schools, the second half of the third year of junior high school and the first half of the first semester of senior high school are the best time to apply. If you start applying in March, you can successfully catch up with the language courses in August and the first semester of the next year.
4. Visa Cycle The e-visa cycle is currently 4 weeks, while the ordinary visa cycle is about 12 weeks.
The application process for a student visa in Australia typically takes 1 to 3 months (about 1 to 2 months for an e-visa application and 2 to 3 months for a regular visa application) and there are many procedural requirements, not just a case of submitting your visa application.
Understanding the above four times, we can calmly arrange our application. Basically, we should grasp the principle of preparing one year in advance to prepare the materials: proof of performance, proof of educational background, proof of language (IELTS or TOFEL), proof of guarantee funds, etc.
Once the materials are ready, you can enter the application process, which usually starts in October.
If you want to study in an Australian high school, it is necessary to complete the domestic junior high school education.
Australia has 12 years of compulsory national education, six years in primary school and six years in secondary school (grades 7 to 12).
The last two years, grade 11 and 12, are high school, preparing for college.
So it’s 4 years early middle school, 2 years high school.
It should be noted that the Australian government requires that the study time in Australian high school must be more than 16 months, so it is not allowed to directly enroll in Grade 12.
At the same time, there are certain requirements for your age to be enrolled in Australian high schools. For example, you should not be more than 20 years old for Grade 12, 19 years old for Grade 11, and 18 years old for grade 10.
Generally speaking, students who graduate from Grade three can enter Grade 10 in Australia.
If you finish the first or second year of high school, you can enter the 11th grade.
Australian high schools have different language requirements according to the age of students. Only by understanding the language requirements before studying abroad can we better arrange the study abroad plan.
For international students under the age of 16 applying for an Australian high school, IELTS is exempt. For students aged 16, if the English score of junior high school or senior high school is above 75%, the IELTS is also exempt.
If a student is over the age of 16, fails to meet the school English requirements and fails to achieve a IELTS score of 5 or 0, then an IELTS score of 4 or 0 will be required and up to 30 weeks of additional language courses will be taken before entering the main course of high school.
1. Home accommodation.
A safe and friendly family is essential for a happy student to study and live in Australia.
If Australian students want to complete the application smoothly, they also need to pay attention to the teaching arrangement of each Australian school.
2. Elective courses offered by the school.
Students in Grade 11 and 12 will start to choose courses. In Australia, except English, which is a compulsory course, students can choose other courses according to their interests and the major they want to study in the future.
A variety of elective courses give students more opportunities for self-development.
3. During the application process, Australian students should submit many application materials, which need to be prepared in advance.
Australian private high schools are regarded as aristocratic schools due to their high tuition fees.
In addition to the basic materials required for applying for public schools, applicants for private schools are required to provide AEAS scores, personal statements, certificates of awards for participating in activities, photos, etc. After the materials are approved, applicants are also required to attend the school interview.
