Content: Kindergarten is the year before heading to Primary school where formal education begins. Kids enter Primary school by age six, and stay for six or seven years. After Primary school, students move on to Secondary school where they can leave at 15 or 16. Or they can go on to complete their final year Certificate. Some schools have a Middle school, which bridges Primary and Secondary school. Australia offers both Public (non-fee paying) and Private (fee paying) schools. University, TAFE (Technical and Further Education) and independent colleges offer further study to help students enter their career of choice.
