  2. In Relation to The Year of Secret Assignments • In my book there are 6 characters. They have to write to each other for an English assignment for school. The two schools are rivals – like Tech and Apollo. The 6 students get to know each other. They play pranks on the opposing school to show the other person that they are better. Some pranks that they do are: set off the sprinklers, set off the fire alarms, hotwire the teacher’s car and take it for a spin around the parking lot. The teachers think that the students wrote graffiti on lockers and hacked the computers with viruses. Then the 6 students meet and have to find out who is pranking both of the schools because it is not them.

  3. Types of Schools • Government or public schools • Private schools • Independent schools

  4. Government or Public Schools • Funded by the Australian government and tuition is much less. • This is the most common type of school. • Have uniforms.

  5. Private Schools • Usually funded by a religious group, but partially funded by the government. • A little bit more expensive than Public schools. • Offers more subjects to take and more extracurricular activities.

  6. Independent Schools • Very expensive and exclusive. • Have smaller class sizes, specialized teachers, and a lot of extra curricular activities. • You will be in that school from kindergarten to twelfth grade. • No funding by the government. • May offer boarding.
