'''High school''' is the former name of [[secondary school]]s in [[Australia]]. The name was officially changed to [[secondary college]] in the early 1990s, but to the majority of the adult Australina population they are still remembered as high schools. The exact length of secondary school varies from state to state, but the majority teach Year 7-12. It is compulsory to attend school until the age of fifteen, but most students remain at school to complete their studies and go on to [[college]] or [[university]].
