This site shows you how to write the Hiragana and Katakana. It also has a sound component o it and you can hear how each sound is pronounced. http://www.kanjisite.com/

This site is possibly more sitable for Year 11 and upwards. Once the page has loaded go to Start and then click on JLPT Kanji. Level four starts with a basic 80 so it may be good place to start. JLPT stands for the Japanese language proficiency test which is run by the Japanese Ministry of Education ech year. It is worth considering as it is an internationally recognised certificate.
