Area school

Area school

In New Zealand and Australia, an area school is a school that takes children from kindergarten age (usually 4 or 5 years old) all the way through to tertiary entrance exams (at about age 18). They tend to be built in small towns where the cost of separate primary and secondary schools cannot be justified.Cite web|url=http://www.minedu.govt.nz/index.cfm?layout=document&documentid=6169&indexid=11537&indexparentid=1072&goto=00-02#P32_5279|title=The school system|accessdate=2007-08-02|publisher=Ministry of Education, New Zealand|year=2007|work=Ministry of Education website] Cite web|url=http://www.schools.sa.gov.au/portal/community.asp?group=support&id=countryrural|title=Quality public education and care in country South Australia|accessdate=2007-08-02|publisher=Government of South Australia|year=2007|work=Department of Education and Children's Services website]
