While the requirements may sound stringent, students actually have a lot of flexibility in deciding how to meet them. Figuring out what to do requires a little planning and thought.
Here are two key issues to consider:
1. Where is your child headed after HSC? The workforce, a tertiary institution, vocational education or some combination?
2. Which courses and subjects will best prepare them? If it's further study, what are the prerequisites?
These questions may be harder than they seem. Some students will already have a clear idea of what they want to do after Year 12 but many will be uncertain. The following website has some tips and tricks for starting these conversations as well as some valuable information to help you explore different career options.
