Hi, as an Australian teacher, I see exchange students at my school all the time from China but it costs about $AUS12,000 to studythere.They board with a family whose children go to our school and some even become dux of the school. many schools both private & public accept International students. to see if you like it, why not contact your nearest Rotary Club to see if you can go for a short stay first. If you're older,there are various colleges in Australia[ eg ABC college in Sydney] offering short & long term courses. But be careful there are also corrupt migration agents that just take your money.

Hi Miranda, it's me again. If you wish to enrol in a high school in the state of Victoria in Australia, you must contact the International Schools Program Unit (ISPU) to organize and approve your request. Their phone number is +6139651 3700.Their email is: [email protected] or a website that will assist you is: www.study.vic.gov.au. This website has all the costs, as these are set by the ISPU. I hope this gives you the information you & your parents require to make a decision.
