The End

Thanks for your attention

In almost all private schools and Catholic institutions (Preparatory school, primary school and secondary school) you must wear a uniform. At university, however, there is just a dress code to follow.

Up to and including the third year, there are eight subjects, the same as in Primary School, which are verified with a final test, called Naplan.

In next years the subjects are reduced to six to focus on the student's preferences.

You can leave school at 15 or 16 at the end of Year 10, but onlif you can demonstrate that you are employed full time. Those who continue obtain a diploma at the end of Year 12.
