Visit Victoria Schools

Melbourne is the capital city of the state of Victoria and is Australia's second-largest and one of the most liveable cities in the world. Melbourne's seasons are variable: warm to hot in summer, mild in both autumn and spring and cold and rainy in winter. Summer is great for outdoors activities like cycling, sailing and surfing, autumn and spring are better for fishing, rock-climbimg or road tours of the rural regions while winter is ideal for snow-boarding and skiing.

Victoria, especially Melbourne, has a varied natural and cultural landscape: there
are wine-growing regions, farmlands, mountain ranges and national parks along with cosmopolitan cities and gorgeous coastal scenery, not to mention 180 different
languages spoken as well as the multicultural diversity of food in the restaurants
and hotel scenes. Fashion, festivals, sports, arts and entertainment add their own
variations to the cultural scene of Melbourne and Victoria.

Victoria's education system is internationally recognised as one of the best in the
world. It fosters learning through traditional classroom tasks as well the latest
technologies, including the internet and multimedia labs.

After 7 years of primary school and 6 years of secondary, students are able to graduate with the Victoria Certificate of Education (VCE), which qualifies them for entry into university in Victoria, elsewhere in Australia, or overseas. In addition, they can study vocational (VET) courses, which are also regarded highly in Australia and overseas.

Increasing numbers of Victorian schools are offering the Internation Baccalaureate.

The curriculum for Victorian schools is broad, allowing development of academic,
social, cultural and sporting capacities in its students. International students can
be guaranteed they will receive the English language tuition necessary for success
in their life and study in Victoria through high-quality educational opportunities
in a safe and healthy environment.
