What is high school like in Australia

What is high school like in Australia?
I am in 10th grade and want to study abroad in Australia (I am from America) with either a host family or at a private boarding school. I have been to Australia many times, but I have no clue what their school system is like. Is it true that they don't let you wear makeup? What is a typical day like? At the private schools, are you allowed to have non-supervised free days on the weekends?

You are very much allowed to wear make up here, but if you cake it on too thick, everyone will call you a cake face or worse [lol] like everywhere else around the world. A typical day is going to your classes, recess, lunch etc. I'm not too sure about private schooling, because they are so up themselves and snooty its not funny. Where about's are in Australia are you hoping to study? If you know, I can give you further info. Just emailing me by clicking on my avatar thing =)

Well, it is very different here. You have to wear a uniform, makeup is allowed, just not in excessive amounts and the same with jewellery. You dont get a locker, you have to carry your stuff around with you. i dont know to much about boarding schools either because they are really stuck up. apart from that the schools are reasonable laid back and they have high standards

you can apply for a student visa,you will pay international student fees up front which will probably be a lot higher than you would pay in the UK, you must have enough money to support yourself though you can work 20 hours a week while studying and full time during official breaks

I would strongly discourage you from doing that. International student fees in Australia are extremely high and it would be a rather long program. The added value of the program is also only relative if you compare it to programs that may be available in your home country or Great Britain. In addition, you won't even be entitled to obtain concessions in NSW. That means even though you are a student, you will have to pay full price for public transport even though you are paying in loads of money. That will definitely add up as well. Australia is also not a cheap country to begin with and I believe that their schools are completely overrated. That is my personal opinion and maybe Australians will disagree with that. I would rather suggest that you look into doing an exchange semester instead if that's what you really want to do. Also, only very few students actually get to stay in Australia after they completed their studies. They want you there to pay in money. It's big business there, but they don't really offer you much in return. I think there are much better options than Australia.

These are all the girl only boarding schools that I know of in the Perth Metro Area. Penrhos College in Como, very expensive but supposedly one of the best girls schools in Perth, I boarded there once a long time ago. http://www.penrhos.wa.edu.au/index.php MLC - Methodist Ladies College, claremont http://www.mlc.wa.edu.au/view/ St Hilda's Anglican college, Mosman Park http://www.sthildas.wa.edu.au/ Presbyterian Ladies College - PLC - Peppermint grove http://www.plc.wa.edu.au/ St Mary's Anglican Girl's school - Karrinyup http://www.stmarys.wa.edu.au/ Perth college, Mt Lawley http://www1.pc.wa.edu.au/ The above ones are what I would classify the top schools, but this is just my own personal knowledge, I have done no research.
