Bunbury relocation.!!!
Hi,
heading out to bunbury at the end of october my husbands job is cental bunbury. my only concern of mine is my 15 year old daughter as she starts her last year at seconardy school in september and wont be here to take her exams. How does the examination process work in austrailia? would she be able too carry on her exams into a australian school.or would she have to go back a year and start again with her studies. Helen.:unsure::unsure::unsure: |

Re: Bunbury relocation.!!!
There is no equivalent here to GCSEs, instead the exams are sat in Year 12, with subjects started in Year 11, roughly equivalent to 'A' levels, the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).
For more info, don't bother with the WA Education Dept, see the Curriculum Council's website http://www.curriculum.wa.edu.au/internet/. WACE programs: http://issuu.com/curriculum_council/...owFlipBtn=true WACE manual: http://issuu.com/curriculum_council/...F%2Fskin.issuu. Page 80 has a section of recognition of prior learning and you can complete a "statement of equivalence" form if your child has already covered some of the material. |

Hi helen,
Not really sure, think it's a good idea to contact the education dept like one of the other person said (sorry can't look back who said it). Have you looked into schools yet, do you have any ideas? If u need any advice let me know as we live in Bunbury and my daughter is also 15. Happy to help :) Lisa :) |
Re: Bunbury, bound
hey whats up with dalyellup :p i live there and actually really love it ....cheeky, :lol:
its a fairly new housing estate (i like new houses, each to their own), its only 10mins drive from bunbury CBD, has its own beach access, a lovely tuart forrest walk, a few local shops, schools, doctors etc.. a nice lakes family area where they have movies in the park, music in the park - with bands playing, carols in the park at christmas - theres a lot going on for families. there is a new shopping development which looks really good on the plans, thats due to start being built early next year. i thinks its great to take time while renting to travel all around the different suburbs checking out the different areas, and i'm sure you'll find somewhere you like :) good luck :thumbsup: |

Im really worried as Andys job starts nov in central bunbury and my daughter is in her last year at school in sept so she will be walking away with no qualifications, i have to decide whether to come at the end of october or hold back till she finishes in may. I have a son Harry who is 11 as well who starts senior school in sept but hes not a concern. I like new houses too and we will be looking at renting a 4 bed in dalyallup or australind Be nice to meet you all when we get over Helen:) |
