Our policy for repeating a year level Principals make the final decision about progression or repeating a year level. Where the principal determines that repeating a year level is required for the long-term benefit of the student, the principal will ask for you to consent to your child repeating the year level.
Repeating an HSC subject
If you didn't quite pass an HSC subject, it's not the end of the world - you can repeat one or more courses within five years, without penalty.
You can either retake AS exams or move on to year 13. Step one is to make a final decision on what university and course you want to go for.
Students are retained only in exceptional circumstances where a school considers it is required for the long-term benefit of the student, for example, considering their social, welfare and academic needs.

Key points. Staying at school to the end of Year 12 can improve young people's chances of going on to further study or finding work after school. Young people must attend school until they turn 16 or complete Year 10. Until your child turns 17, they need to be learning or earning.

For grade skipping, ideally you will need to have your child assessed by an educational psychologist who is skilled in working with gifted children. That person will administer an IQ test for your child and provide you with a report. The report may include recommendations for a subject acceleration or a grade skip.
Curriculum. Students must complete at least 12 units of preliminary courses (Year 11) and 10 units of HSC courses (Year 12), including English. Most HSC courses are worth 2 units each. Students typically study a minimum of six subjects in Year 11 and continue with five of these subjects in Year 12.

Gap years in student profiles are permitted by universities in Australia for masters, but students must be able to provide justification related to the gap. Allowable gaps may vary by course or degree. For example, some colleges even allow you a 10-12 year gap if you decide to pursue a master's degree.
School education (Primary and Secondary)
School education is similar across all of Australia with only minor variations between states and territories. School education (primary and secondary) is compulsory between the ages of six and sixteen (Year 1 to Year 9 or 10).
Contrary to what your teachers have been hounding you about all year, your ATAR doesn't define you or your future. The ATAR really only affects the next step you want to take. Whether it be taking a gap year, continuing your education or getting a full time job.
There are a lot of reasons to consider taking a gap year. You'll continue your studies after the year off with more clarity and life experience than you would've otherwise had. You'll have the chance to discover yourself without the pressure of lessons and exams, and live life away from educational environments.
If you're extremely unhappy with your year 12 results, you can definitely repeat. You won't be punished for it by any tertiary institution, anywhere. However, you need to balance this with the fact that you will be adding on not only another year of VCE stress and workload, but also another year of school fees.
The legal leaving age is 17
Your child cannot leave schooling until they are 17 years old. Your child must go to a school campus (or an approved alternative) until they finish year 10. After year 10, your child does not need to go to a school campus.
Is year 12 content much more difficult than year 11? To be completely honest, the really overwhelming and difficult part of year 12 tends to be the pressure and the intensity of the study that you might come up against. The difference between the difficulty of the actual content is going to vary between subjects.
Getting started with school
