The word student is etymologically derived through Middle English from the Latin second-type conjugation verb "studēre", meaning "to direct one's zeal at"; hence a student could be described as 'one who directs zeal at a subject'. In its widest use, "student" is used for anyone who is learning.
In Australia, after Kindergarten, children begin primary school, starting with 'grade prep' and continuing 'grade one', 'grade two' through to 'grade six'. They then move on to secondary school (also known as high school) for 'year seven' through to 'year twelve'.
In Canada, , the high school (known as Academy or secondary school) years can be referred to simply as first, second, third, fourth and fifth year. Some areas call it by grade such as Grade 10, Grade 11 and Grade 12. Provincial variations can include Grade 9 in High School, though most in most provinces, Grades 10 through 12 are considered High School, with Grades 7 through 9 called "Junior High."
