Grade Seven

In Australia, Grade 7 is considered the first year of secondary school, also known as high school, depending on the state or territory. Students typically start Grade 7 around the age of 12 or 13. This year marks a transition from primary education, where learning is often more generalized, to secondary education, which usually offers a broader range of subjects and more specialized teaching.
