Study the Australian way
High achievements are admired down under and hard working students are well respected. By nature, Australians are polite and informal. In the classroom you may notice differences in etiquette and values to what you are used to. Teachers expect you to discuss topics with them and not automatically agree with what is being said. This can take some adjustment, especially if you are accustomed to a culture where rituals are important, where status is carefully respected and where authority must not be openly opposed. Remember to learn to speak up in class when you don’t understand something or when you don’t agree with somebody, even if that somebody is the teacher! For more study tips
