Do some people leave school after the 5th form in New Zealand - they can in England. Students who wish to study for entrance to University then stay on until they're 18 in what we used to call the 6th form (now years 12 and 13). My daughter's in her last year of "6th form" now.

What would you like to do when you leave school - sorry if you've been asked this loads of time before


Enjoy your schooldays - they're great. My daughter said to me the other day, I can't believe this is the last January I'll be at school *sniff*
Yea we can leave after the 5th form, but I'm not going to!


After I've left school I'd like to become a History Teacher or a Homeopath.

I told my parents that it wasnt helping so they stopped it - and I still failed maths. But I did pass the rest of my subjects to allow me to go onto 6th form, which was a lot easier!!!

But we didnt have Information Management Technology in my time - what is that??


Good luck Sam with School Certificate Year!
I asked to be put in a special maths class and I was so I'm happy about that.


IMT is a fancy name for Computers.

BTW, thank you so much everybody! Oh and as some of you know I'm fluent in French, so French is an easy subject for me.
I had a great time today, going back for an hour tomorrow morning to get my ID photo taken and going to the shoe shop to buy some new school shoes and then it's back to normal classes on Thursday.

Thanks again!

Sam.

Just noticed this and wanted to say good luck. It is usually not till you leave school that you realise how much you miss it!
