Dreaming of sun, surf, and new friendships? Now’s your chance to dive into the Australian high school experience! Live and learn in a public or private school and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in Oz. Your journey begins with an orientation filled with fun activities and opportunities to connect with fellow students, setting the stage for your time abroad. Then, head to your placement in New South Wales, an Australia state that includes Sydney, where you 're sure to have an amazing adventure. You’ll experience the everyday life of an Aussie teen by grabbing lunch with your friends in the school cafeteria, joining a weekend surf session, or taking part in a school club or sports team. On weekends, enjoy sharing meals and exploring nature trails with your new friends or homestay family, and venture out to charming towns like Bowral or vibrant coastal cities like Newcastle to experience local markets, beaches, and cultural festivals.
