For anyone else thinking of dropping out in year 12, my best piece of advice would be to not jump into the decision without having a good think about what’s making you want to quit, and then having a chat with someone about it.
There’s heaps of support options beyond doing apprenticeships and traineeships as well, like if you’re feeling overwhelmed with assignments and exams, your school can help with flexible timetables and different subjects. I honestly wouldn’t have known that if I didn’t speak up about how I was feeling; so do yourself a favour and check in with someone like a school guidance officer, year level coordinator or a teacher. You won’t regret it!
