Graduating from School this June/ July/ August
Originally I wanted to write "...this summer", but than I remembered that we have some folks from Australia to...^^
Who of you is graduating from school and what are you're plans for the future?
Well, I'm doing, otherwise I wouldn't start a topic like this. And I plan to continue school, well...I can't describe it, because I don't know the english words for our schools :/ .
However, how about you?

I'm doing what's called ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank), which is a pathway to university.
You're competing with other students, and are given ranks at the end of a 2 year period. The higher your rank, the higher chance you can go to uni.
I will be graduating November/December 2015.
If I'm able to go to uni, I will be studying a course called "Composition and Music Technology" at WAAPA (Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts)
The course will further my knowledge of electronic music, and will hopefully kick start my career as an electronic music composer/producer.
Not many of us are still in school Jonny, we're pretty much one of the youngest active users on this forum, so the majority have already graduated
Maybe they can tell us when they graduated/what they did?

I graduated from high school last year, now I'm in college.
In the UK its different here. I did the AQA modular exam course for my GCSE years, we were given the choice to choose our three subjects related to our career choice and compulsory subjects (English, Maths, PE etc)
I'm now studying AS levels which is a step up from GCSE. I'm studying A level Biology, Environmental science and Geology.
I'm studying for a specialised Zoology course in Herpetology (work with reptiles)
Problem is my AQA course are now linear which makes life much harder, Linear means all my exams are at the end of the year so lots of pressure
At the end of my exams we get UCAS points which is proportional to the marks we score per paper (e.g 1 mark=5 points), I need a certain amount of UCAS points for University courses.
