Australia
In Australia, Year Six is usually the sixth year of compulsory education. Although there are slight variations between the states, most children in Year Six are aged between eleven and twelve. Unlike in many UK schools, in Queensland a year six will carry on in 'primary' school throughout year seven and then will go to 'high' school in year 8.
