Year 7 is an educational year group in schools in many countries including England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand. It is the seventh full year (or eighth in Australia) of compulsory education and is roughly equivalent to grade 6 in the United States and Canada (or to grade 7 for the Australian Year 7). Children in this year are between 11 to 12 however some children who are in Year 7 can be considered as grade 5 in America or Canada but if the child who was born after September 2nd and grade 5, they will be replaced as Year 6.
In Australia, Year 7 is the eighth year of compulsory education and the first year of secondary school (high school). Children entering are generally aged from 11-12, and leave around 12-13 years old. Students will experience more teachers, usually a teacher per subject, in contrast to the fewer amount of teachers they had throughout the year in primary school. Subjects in Year 7 include English; Mathematics; Science; Creative Arts; Humanities and Social Sciences; Languages; Personal development, Health and Physical education; and technologies.[1]
Year 7s will also experience their 3rd and 2nd last NAPLAN tests in May.[2]
The school year is still divided into 2 semesters, with each semester having 2 terms consisting of 10 weeks each. The school day follows the normal work day of 5 days. Each school day is divided into 5 periods and 2 breaks.
