Students consider post-school plans

School’s out for Narrabri High Year 12 students and now it’s heads down over books and computers studying for the Higher School Certificate.

The HSC is the academic culmination for students and the Narrabri High cohort is planning beyond the big exam when they head off to further education and careers.

Their aims and aspirations were read out by Year 12 adviser Therese Davies as students filed one by one onto the stage to accept their parting awards and acknowledgements from principal (relieving) Simon Warden at Friday’s final Year 12 assembly.

The spread of post school career aims is wide – some students have a clear pathway in mind, others are deciding and taking a gap year meanwhile.
