If you are just attending for one semester, then it won't really matter at all whether Swinburne is a 'good' school or not. What would you consider to be a "good" school? Swinburne is a legitimate Australian university with some programs that are unique to it. If your main aim is to experience life in Australia, then Swinburne is good enough. Hope this helps.

What is a typical day for a high school student in Australia?
I am doing a report and I am looking for specific times. Do they start at 8 and end at 3 like we do in the US?

No, kids in Australia often start at 9:20am and finish at about 3:20. Time zones in Australia cover big land areas, so it's hard to adjust. One can be going to bed when the Sun is still way up in the sky because the time is adjusted to the liking of city people! Animals may start waking up as the Sun rises but people are still supposed to be in bed according to the time. Country people complain a lot about time zones here!!! I would say that Aussie kids are more laid-back at school than US kids. They are often crazy about sport and lazy about academic merits. Top academic performers in Australian schools get little notice from other kids. In some bad areas they even get abused or bullied by tough kids! But if you are good at sports, you are heros and respected by every one. Migrant kids tend to dominate academic areas. Aussies kids dominate sports. There are 4 terms. Holidays are between terms. the longest holiday is Summer holiday after term 4 and the start of next year. It is about 6-7 weeks long.
