Have you left school before your friends graduated?
How has leaving school impacted your education, career goals and friendships? What was the main reason for leaving early? Did you land in a secure job or training easily? Was it harder than you thought?

I wish I knew then, what I know now.

- Work and study hard to the best of your ability to achieve the grades you want to pass and actually learn what you’re getting taught, because in the long run it helps a lot and you will be eventually walking through year 12 without an issue
- Ways to motivate myself to study and paying attention in class
- Just get through all assessments and study hard for exams, it helps and lifts a massive weight off your shoulders
- Ask how they’re doing and provide and ask for help when it’s needed
- I go to either my mum or guidance counsellor or talk to my teachers
- Just get everything out of the way or do something you love as extra-curricular or outside of school
- As your teachers tell you more about it, it hits you hard when you’re in your first term of your senior year

- Stress less, because in the long run it doesn't matter that much in your Junior years
- Revising after each day the content you covered really does help in exam time
- Go for a walk
- Everyone has different things going on in their lives, so don't take it personally if someone snaps at you in a really stressful period, they more than likely didn't mean it
- A teacher
- Make sure you are eating and sleeping properly
- Always ask as many questions as you can about your draft, they will give you more and better feedback
- Focus on your own health
- Sleep is important. If you aren't getting enough sleep you won't be working to your full potential and then it is a lose lose situation
How can we lift self-esteem?
Mads
- Yes ✔️
- Never let teachers put students down, and believe it or not it happens more than you think. It happened a lot in my classrooms and it really effected the kids that we treated so poorly. Firing those teachers would be the best way to help students achieve
What advice would you give a friend thinking of dropping out of high school?
Mads
- Make sure they are certain that is what they want to do because not getting a QCE could affect them greatly in the future if they want to change careers
