Education in Western Australia consists of one year of pre-school at age 5, followed by six years of primary education for all students as of 2015.[44] At age 13, students begin six years of secondary education. The final two years of secondary education are now compulsory.[45] From 2005, all students who completed Year 10 were required to undertake further studies in Year 11, and to complete the year in which they turned 16 (usually Year 11). Since 2008, all students are required to complete 12 years of study before leaving school.[45] Students have the option to study at a TAFE college in their eleventh year or continue through high school with a vocational course or a specific university entrance course.There are five universities in Western Australia. They consist of four Perth-based public universities; the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University and Murdoch University; and one Fremantle-based private Roman Catholic university, the University of Notre Dame. The University of Notre Dame is also one of only two private universities in Australia, along with Bond University, a not-for-profit private education provider based in Gold Coast, Queensland.
