Content: School qualifications
After completion of senior secondary school (Years 11 and 12) students sit for exams and receive an official certificate of qualification. The name of this certificate varies within Australia's state-based education systems but regardless of what the certificate is called, it is recognised by all Australian universities, higher education and vocational education and training institutions, as well as many institutions internationally. All Australian schools offer a strong welfare structure to ensure the ongoing support of every student. These include: Support for school students
International student coordinators present in every school
A student welfare team
Year advisers
School counsellors
Careers advisers to assist students with planning and applying for post-secondary study
English as a second language support staff and programs
Students learn with local Australian students
