Unless the text books are included in the fees, which they aren't generally in Australia and this is for secondary school, for new text books depending on the year level generally between $500 - $1000. You can save a few hundred dollars if you can by second hand text books. Generally scientific calculator aren't more than $20, but when you need to buy a graphics calculator it's about $200.

Hi I work in a primary school in Queensland. You will be starting in a high school grade 8 or 9. What state and school will you be attending that should give everyone a bit more info to answer you. You might even find someone on here that goes to the school already. Just be yourself the English accent will go a long way with the girls lol :) kids are kids anywhere you go there are good and bad nasty and kind. If you are starting in grade 8 it will be easier for you as most kids will be new to the high school aswel. You can email me if you have more questions I have a son in high school grade 10.

hey ! my best friend did the exactly the same thing, she was english and move to australia. let my tell you a bit about what happened to her. she started in a primary school and most of the kids wanted her to talk all the time, because of her accent, they thought it was so strange. after a while she dropped her accent. she did fine friend wise, usually a teacher will introduce you to a kid or two and you can go round with them until you settle in. don't freak out or anything, it will be okay. i live in australia obviously and all the people hear are friendly! don't worry about the little things, conversations will start naturally, just be your self . don't lie to everyone to sound cool or whatever. they will be very interesting in england and you will probably make allot of good friends ! i can tell you i think english people rock ! hope i help, really have fun in oz !

I don't know what you mean by a boarding school for college. There are boarding schools in Australia, of course. But you can't just decide that you'll go there. Your parents have to apply, be interviewed and wait to see if you are accepted. You don't say how old you are. Perhaps you mean university, not school (we don't call university 'school'). They do have boarding colleges and you would have to apply. I think we use different terminology from USA (like 'college', 'school'). Try Google. Type in 'Australian universities' (if that's what you mean).

G'day, I have to agree with Cliffordex, since you are mixing 3 different study levels altogether in one questions. In Australia, schools means your general schooling, which is the first 12yrs of your school studies (Primary and High School). College usually offers non-degree courses (Certificates & Diplomas) after you finish your high-school study. University is the one to look for degree courses (bachelor, masters and PhD). All three levels of study may have boarding/on-campus accommodation facility in the institutions. However it will be terribly long answer for me to specify all three of them here. Please clarify your question and it may not be a bad idea to re-post your question in Travel - Australia, since quite alot of Australian questions are posted there, so you may get more responses. Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia :)
