Post-School


Finishing secondary school is the end of a formative chapter in a young person's life... and the beginning of an important new one! The transition comes with new independence and a lot of big decisions to make.

Whether your child wants to pursue further study, an apprenticeship, work, travel or an altogether different adventure, the below links provide some useful resources to help them, and you, navigate this process.
