Education Overseas: Understanding the Australian System
Navigating the Australian school system as parents of a Third Culture Kid (TCK) can be a unique experience. Questions may arise about what is best for your child. How do the International Baccalaureate (IB) or International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) relate to the Australian school system? What happens to your child's schooling due to the differences between the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere academic calendars?
Jane Barron (MEd) is an educational consultant specializing in student cross-cultural transitions. She wears many professional hats, including those of educator, researcher, and writer. Jane’s work is informed by a lifetime of mobility, parenting two Cross-Cultural Kids, and over 30 years of teaching and consulting in both international and local schools. Since 2016, she has been part of the Safe Passage Across Networks (SPAN) leadership, where she currently serves as Director of Training and Consulting and remains deeply committed to healthy cross-cultural transitions care. As the founder of Globally Grounded, Jane consults with schools, families, and students to transform the challenges of mobility into pathways for growth. She is the lead researcher of "Surveying the Landscape: Common Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities in International School Transitions-Care" (2020). Currently based on Garigal land in Sydney, Australia, Jane's writing has been published in numerous international education publications.
