How are school years set out in Australia?

Question

My son is about to start his 2nd year of intermediate (Year 8 here in the NZ). Where would  he fit into the school system there?

It's pretty similar here in Australia, although there is a little bit of variation between States. Here's a chart that should answer your question nicely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Australia#Comparison_of_ages_and_Year_levels_across_States_and_Territories
