As of January 2010, New South Wales will have a new school leaving age, meaning students will complete Year 10 and then have a number of options in which to participate until at least age 17.
- You can stay at school and continue to complete your HSC
- You can choose to stay at school and do a School Based apprenticeship or traineeship over Years 11 and 12
- You can choose to leave school and complete a full time apprenticeship or traineeship
- You can study vocational courses at TAFE
- You can be in employment, as long as it is full- time, paid work
- You can also do a combination of the above
If you are in Year 10, it's time to start thinking about the best pathway for you!
