About this listen

High school in Australia isn’t just uniforms and exams - it’s part-time jobs, volunteering rosters, dodgy muck-up day ideas, and the great Schoolies migration to the Gold Coast, Byron Bay or the Sunshine Coast.

In this episode, we break down the quirks, expectations and milestones of Aussie teen life.
Why do assignments matter more than tests?
Why does every employer love a 15-year-old with a Woolies badge?
And why does weekend sport feel like the unofficial national religion?

A warm, honest guide for migrant parents learning the strange beauty of raising teens in Australia.
