Australian schools: high quality education

Australian schools provide high quality education in a multicultural environment as the foundation for lifelong learning. Australian schools are internationally recognised for their teaching practices and resources, pastoral support and sporting, information technology and recreation facilities.

Flexible learning pathways allow students to structure their study to achieve academic and vocational aims at the tertiary level. Students can choose from many different subjects that suit their different interests and goals.

Australian schools have a holistic approach to learning, with an emphasis on academic training as well as extra-curricula activities, to ensure a well-rounded individual.

Pastoral care has a high priority in Australian schools. Schools offer support services for international students to help them adjust to school life in a new country. These range from orientation programs to English language assistance.

Australian schools have close relationships with parents, local communities and businesses. These partnerships help broaden the education of students and prepare students for future study.

The Australian Government is continually investing in its education. It has committed new funding of $1.2 billion over five years to further upgrade information and communications technology in schools. This latest technology upgrade will prepare students for living and working in a digital world.
