Australia's Schooling System
Responsibility for education is divided between state and territory governments and the federal government.

• State and territory governments are responsible for school education, and provide and manage government schools as well as supporting non-government schools.
• The federal government, through the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) provides supplementary funding to support certain strategies and priorities such as literacy and numeracy programs, and is responsible for higher education.
• Shared between the state and territory and federal governments is vocational education and training.

The Australian schooling system is divided broadly into three areas:

• Preschool
• Primary School
• Secondary School/High School/Secondary Colleges

Different Teaching Approach
You may find the system of teaching and school discipline very different in Australia. Less importance is placed on outward discipline and memorising than is done in many other countries. Emphasis is put on self discipline, on learning by finding out and by questioning, and encouraging a child's interest and enthusiasm for learning.

Parent Involvement
Schools encourage parent involvement and wish to help newcomers. Most schools have parent and teacher associations which play an active part in school life, raising funds for many school needs but also helping to decide what is taught and done at the school. Parent skills are valued and your involvement is welcome.

Compulsory Schooling
Schooling is compulsory for students in most states and territories until the age of fifteen. Although students are able to leave at that time, most students do not leave until they complete their Year 10 qualification, with many students continuing on to complete their Year 12 studies.
