Hi,
I am intending to go over to Aus Next Year after my eldest daughter has completed her GCSE's.
But what would be the best next move for her having completed her GCSE's.
Are there equivelent A level's in Aus?
What would be needed to get into the universitys etc?
Thanks
Mike

Re: Schools
The best place for your daughter would be school to do Year 11 and 12, followed by the Year 12 exams (which are called different things in different states - HSC in NSW, VCR in Vic, OP in QLD etc.). The Year 12 exam results are used to calculate a students rank or position which are then used for University entrance.

Re: Schools
No it wouldn't be meaningless because although different, years 11 & 12 are more equivilent of years 12 & 13 (old 6th form) in the UK.

Re: Schools
My son did 3 months into his A'level when we came here, the school put him into year 11, which he wasnt happy at all, as he found the work too easy, so we got in touch with the dept of education for SA, & we were told that he's GSCE is equivalent to their 11, so we send off he's certificate to be verified.
As it took a bit of time, the school would not move him into year 12 half way through the year, so he'll be doing year 12 next Jan.
If you are coming half way through the australian education year your daughter will stay in year 11.
Hope this information helps you, but they do get a lot of home work for year 11 & 12.

Re: Schools
Also another thought is depending on where you move to, there are a few schools/universities that allow students to do first year uni courses in year 12. I have had a few of my students do this, and especially the ones from the UK, as you say it is a kind of repeat for some of the work.
