Nice new thread ... I'm staying in Perth, Landsdale ... I'm currently in Wanneroo Senior High School . Got a friend is here too but she's currently in Canning College . Still trying to adapt myself in the new environment . Any tips that I should remember or take note during my studies here ?

I have a question here : Year 11 got a lot of test or exams ? My friend told me that got a lot of exams and such ... We also have to change our subject every semester . How true ? I did some internet searching but didn't get my answers .

In most states, you can convert your Malaysian licence to a full Australian licence.  However, you must still sit for the theory and practical test (no need to go through P-plates).  But if you do that, they will punch a hole in your Malaysian licence to invalidate it.  I have a hole in mine and I am wondering how I explain to JPJ when I want to renew that eventually

why should they destroy your other driving licence?........there is no rule that says one can only own one driving licence.......

in any case, oz allows dual citizenship, so there is no problem with someone having aussie and another country's passport........so i don't see what's the issue with a mere driving licence.....

hey thanks for the quick response

btw if i want to bring instant noodles and such and i keep it in my luggage
do i need to declare?

or is declaration for handcarry only

What do I have to declare?

Firearms, weapons and ammunition
You must declare all firearms, weapons and ammunition including real and replica firearms and BB air guns that discharge a pellet by means of compressed gas, commonly purchased as "toy" guns. Other weapons such as paintball markers, blowpipes, all knives, nunchukas, slingshots, crossbows, electric shock devices and knuckle dusters must also be declared. Some of these items may require a permit, police authorisation and safety testing before importation.

Performance and image enhancing drugs
All performance and image enhancing drugs must be declared on arrival. These include human growth hormone, DHEA and all anabolic and androgenic steroids. These items cannot be imported into Australia without a permit.

Currency
There is no limit to the amount of currency you can bring in or out of Australia. However, you must declare amounts of A$10,000 or more in Australian currency or foreign equivalent. If asked by Customs you must also fill in a Bearer Negotiable Instruments (BNI) form if you're carrying promissory notes, travellers cheques, personal cheques, money orders or postal orders.

Food, plants, animals and biological goods
Declare all food, plant and animal goods, equipment used with animals, biological materials, soils and sand to Quarantine on arrival. If you don't, you could be given an on-the-spot fine or face prosecution.

Medicines
You need to declare all drugs and medicines including prescription medications,  alternative, herbal and traditional medicines, vitamin and mineral preparation formulas to Customs. Some products require a permit or quarantine clearance and/or a letter or prescription from your doctor describing your medication and medical condition.

Prescription medicines are financially subsidised by the Australian Government under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). You can only take out of Australia the amount of medication you need. Carry a medical or dental practitioner's letter or complete a PBS Medicine Export Declaration available from Medicare Australia.

Protected wildlife
Australia's strict laws control the import and export of protected wildlife and associated products. This includes traditional medicinal products and regulated products such as coral, orchids, caviar, ivory products and many hunting trophies.

Heritage-listed goods
You need to apply for a permit to import or export heritage-listed goods including works of art, stamps, coins, archaeological objects, minerals and specimens.

Veterinary products
Declare all veterinary drugs and medicines. This includes products that contain substances prohibited without a permit.

Defence and strategic goods
Permits are required to import or export defence and strategic goods. For more information on which goods fit into this category, refer to Customs Export controls for defence and strategic goods factsheet.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a mate here also going to study at Wanneroo SHS. I forgot his Forum's name. mythic or something.

If you are taking up TEE subjects, there are sure a lot of exams.

Subject change depends, eg: only like woodwork for the first half & metal work for second half

Subjects like Maths, Physics etc run through the whole year.
