Content: A school in Hervey Bay near Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef has motorboats for its marine biology classes, so students get to see whales, dolphins and tropical fish in real life. Very enticing, unless you are prone to seasickness! Assessment of School Achievements
Achievements are assessed by means of homework, assignments, oral and written examinations, and practical assignments. At the end of each term, students receive a report card that describes their progress in the relevant subjects. School Uniforms
Almost all state and private schools in Australia require students to wear school uniforms. Each high school has its own special uniform, and a shop where you can buy one new or used. The demand for second-hand uniforms is very useful for international students, because they can normally sell theirs quite easily before going home. International Baccalaureate (IB)
The IB is basically a qualification to study at university. It is a form of international high school diploma (equivalent to Australian HSC, German “Abitur”, etc). It was originally intended for families who moved a lot because of work (diplomats, executives).
