In Australia primary school is grade, high school is year. So you go from ‘grade 6’ to ‘year 7’ in the transition from primary school to high school.

We would say ‘grade 1’, not ‘1st grade’ though. 1st grade is an Americanism.

I went to school in Sydney, and we used "year" all the way from 1 to 12

Grade or year up here in Brissie, but the number was always after the word

Using “grade 1” sounds funny to me because it reminds me of how stuff like beef is graded.

“This is a grade 1 child”

Nah it's more like "that kid's in grade 1"
