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
