Hi, I'm not sure what GCE N level or stuff but I'll share all I know. I live in Australia and am going to high school there. To apply for universities in Australia, one year will cost you aprox $25,000 Australian dollars. It's a lot! For high school in Australia, we have for years 11 and 12 a 2 year program (in Victoria it's called VCE) or you can study the IB diploma (2 years as well). To board at a high school will cost $27,000 for school education and $21,000 to board. That's at one of the top private girls schools, so that's as expensive as it gets. Public schools would be a lot less and I know one that offers homestays for international students. This may be a good option. You don't need to study high school in Australia to get into an Australian university but it would probably make it a lot easier :) How about a high school exchange? If you come to Australia on an exchange (they go to up to a year) to see if you like Australia or to see if you would like to go to high school here before university. If you would like more information feel free to contact me :)

I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea. I live in Melbourne and have been to two high schools, you get your idiots at all school but in the end its you who decides what to make of the experience and who you hang around with. Besides starting at any new school you don't know anyone but by the end of the day you'll get a good idea whose, who and who you want to be friends with. I don't know if you coming from another country or not but your home stay family will be there for any situations that you have and it'll be a great experience for you.

How do i apply for a job in Australia as a current student in Canada

How do i apply for a job in Australia as a current student in Canada?
I'm a student at university in Ontario. My girlfriend is going to school in Australia for the summer so I've decided i'm going to go down and live with her for a few months in the summer. I was wondering how i would go about applying for a restaurant-type job in Sydney for the summer months. I'm obviously new to this, so any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated.
