Summer break for Australian students is from mid December to late January. This is the time when the days are warmer and are longer than the usual climate. So do you know you can utilize this time? Schools in Australia, though really focus on extra curricular activities. Like Yarra Valley Grammar School, is very much focused into Sports, and cultural activities, so you can opt those during summer break, if the school provides it.

Here I am sharing some options you can opt during your summer break.

What is Grammar School in Australia?

There are many Grammar Schools running in Australia. Ever wondered what is the difference in a Grammar School from a normal school? Grammar schools are the state secondary schools in World's English speaking countries. They select students after taking and examination taken by children at age 11. AKA "11 Plus". Under the rule of grammar school system, students those who passes the exam can go to the local grammar school, and those who don't pass, they go to the local "secondary modern school". Early examples include Launceston Grammar School (1846), Pulteney Grammar School (1847), Yarra Valley Grammar School , Geelong Grammar School (1855) and Melbourne Grammar School (1858).

Difference Between Grammar School And An Independent School

Private Schools are not funded by government, they are funded by donations and tuition fees. While Grammar schools are government-funded schools. They run through trust, a foundation or council. Grammar Schools select their students based on academic ability and there is often an exam conducted which is called 11+to get in. The exam covers 4 areas: verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English and math. One more difference between Grammar Schools and Private Schools is that they also differ in size of classes and student population.

Grammar schools can be overwhelming, but with these simple tips you'll know ways to make new friends, learn more effectively: 1. Take out time to meet people: Having friends makes your journey easy and beautiful. So go out there at meets and seminars to meet your kind of people and hit it off. 2. Scheduling is the key! Scheduling seems to be lost in today's students. Random stuff they try to read and achieve. I will suggest scheduling your study times and other things using online management tools. 3.
