As an international student, you have the wonderful opportunity to choose between our welcoming government schools or one of many excellent independent schools.
- Tasmanian Government schools are fully supported and funded by the government.
- Independent or private schools receive a mix of funding from both the government and families.
- All government schools have both girls and boys (co-educational). There are also girls-only and boys-only independent schools.
The Australian Curriculum
All Tasmanian Government schools deliver the Australian Curriculum. This is based on eight key areas including: English, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, The Arts, Technologies, and Languages.
To help track their progress and support their growth, students participate in regular NAPLAN assessments in literacy and numeracy.
International Baccalaureate (IB) programs are also available at The Friends’s School in Hobart.
