Australian schools develop the whole student and provide a holistic education with an emphasis on wellbeing. There is a strong understanding that student wellbeing underpins academic success. Australian schools offer STEM, performing and visual arts, elite sports programs and community service opportunities. Australian schools are built around open communication between parents and the school. Quality schools make it a priority to keep parents overseas informed, so they remain an integral part of their child’s education.

The Australian school year runs from January to December. In the secondary years students have a choice of pathways that lead to university including IB Diploma, senior certificate (QCE, HSC, VCE, SACE, TCE, WACE) or vocational education. Students have an extensive range of subject choices which lead to many career pathways.

Students who study abroad are more confident, more focused and more independent. They also have a global outlook and are comfortable living in an international setting. Future employers will look for global citizens, and skills developed studying in Australia will be invaluable in the future job market.

For over 30 years AEAS has been testing international students for English proficiency, general ability and mathematical reasoning, in preparation for their study experience in Australian schools.

The AEAS test was developed specifically for school age students.  The AEAS Assessment Report provides more comprehensive information than any other available test.  Results can indicate a student’s suitability for the year level applied for and indicate areas they may need support with.  It provides an accurate account of English language proficiency and the amount of intensive English language required, in weeks, to prepare a student for mainstream classes.

Understanding students’ English language and general abilities will enable schools to:

1. Make informed decisions about applications
2. Better understand when a student is ready to commence formal studies
3. Better support students based on individual needs when they start school

Testing gives schools clear and relevant information.  This ensures students’ learning needs are understood, and met, by placing them in the correct school and the correct year level.

The benefit for students and parents is that they have a definite idea of how many weeks of intensive English language lessons should be necessary for the them to reach a standard that will enable them to learn competently in an English medium classroom.  This allows students to think about travel preparation, and helps establish a timeframe for study.

Most importantly, when students have reached the standards expected to study in an Australian school, their AEAS Test Report will support their application to Australia’s top schools, ensuring their experience in Australia is a positive one.  The rest is up to them – the world is their oyster!!
