Oz Curriculum Schools In Bkk ?

[skippybangkok]

Are the any year 12 oz curriculum schools in BKK? Found St. Mark, but their website is down.

Thanks

I do not know. However if you are from some Australian states they allow you to study by correspondence through the government system in the same way as remote farm children. It is a good option they provide a lot of good material and you could hire a good tutor or two for less than the cost of most schools and still have continuity. My daughter studied this way many years ago and it worked.

I think for year 12 it would be a hard road to do it by correspondence. Would be a good supplement though if you can not find a OZ curriculum school.

If not, then perhaps the IB would be a good alternative? Many schools in OZ offer that these days, and is recognised by Australian Universities if that is your concern.

Why would you want to? Every other choice is a significant step upwards. I'll be honest with you. I've never met an intelligent Australian, save for maybe Leung Ken, whom I haven't met.. Opt for British curriculum is my advice.

THe main problem I see is that in australia year 12 is generally a 2 year sylabus and relies 50% on assignments and assessments throuout the whole 2 years. I think the IB is somewhat similar. At least by doing it by correspondence the assessment work can be completed here. I agree for year 12 yo would also need to supplement this by employing a teacher part time to help and motivate.

many students in Australia study this way and it prepares them well for University study.

Being a Brit myself I must say every country has it's higher IQ and lower unfortunately most of the Brits and Ozzies you meet whilst being out drinking fall into the lower bracket. The other end of the spectrum does exist. In answer to our friends question I have worked in every level of Thai school in the past government to international and generally a child will never fail a term and teachers are banned from failing them or the parents will not pay for next year. If I am ever fortunate enough to have a child that needs education I will probably move to Singapore where top class education is free for children whose parents pay tax to the government. Unlike here get taxed and get nothing for it.

Obviously I am one of the typical unintelligent Aussies as I can't work out from your statement if you have met Leung ken or not. Can You write slowly so i can understand.

Another option is a international baccalaureate (thats a <deleted> to spell) here in Bangkok. If she was to go to Oz with an IB with Oz citizenship , would it be received the same as a Highschool graduate in australia? ( or would uni's try to push her into the off shore expensive programms "only slot available" ).
