Actually you're in High School. In Australia, State School refers to primary schools, not high school. As the academic year in Europe begins in September, and that's when most exchange students begin their studies, you've definitely missed this deadline. But you could still scrape in for the January program. The best thing to do is contact the organisations running this program and see if places are still available. If there are places, you'll need to meet the application deadline to ensure you have time to get a visa. One thing you haven't mentioned is language. Do you actually speak some Italian, because this is a requirement for an Italian exchange through Student Exchange Australia. See the FAQs on their website: http://www.studentexchange.org.au/faq/ And are your parents aware of the costs involved?
