Each state in Australia has a different Education system, which I think is incredibly stupid. Education should be a national concern. Anyway, living in the state of New South Wales has its benefits.

Basically, we have the following structure:

• Pre-School (not compulsory)
• Primary School (compulsory)
  • Kindergarten
  • Year 1
  • Year 2
  • Year 3
  • Year 4
  • Year 5
  • Year 6
• High School (compulsory)
  • Year 7
  • Year 8
  • Year 9
  • Year 10
• Senior High School (not compulsory)
  • Year 11
  • Year 12
• Tertiary Education (not compulsory)
  • University AND / OR
  • TAFE AND / OR
  • Any other tertiary education institute

Very large exams are held in Year 10, and Year 12. But each year has its own exams / assessments, like you'd expect anywhere else. I'm currently in Year 12, and will be sitting for my HSC later this year with: Studies of Religion (1 Unit), Mathematics (2 Unit), English (Advanced), Physics, Chemistry, Software Design & Development, and Geography.
