Read the text and answer the following questions.

Sixteen - What now?

You’re 16 and finally you can leave school! By now, you’re probably sick of teachers, desks,
tests and exams. But don’t just run for the exit. You need to think carefully about what to
do next.

If you want a professional career, you will need to go to university and get a degree. To do
that, you need to stay at high school for another two years. But you needn’t stay at the
same place. There are several options in the district of Northacre.

St. Leopold’s School has the best pass rate of all the high schools in the district. It offers a
wide range of subjects in the humanities and sciences. St Leopold’s is, of course, a private
school, so may be too expensive for you. But don’t worry, there are several other options if
you want to follow the academic route. Knowle Grammar School is a state school, so there
are no fees, and it has excellent tuition and facilities. It is a boys’ school from the ages of
11-16, but from 16-18 it is co-educational. But it is selective, so you’ll have to pass an exam
to get in. If you’re interested in going into Business, check out Wyle River Academy. This
school specialises in subjects like Business Studies, Management and Economics. If you
prefer the arts, look at the courses on offer at Northacre College. Here you can study
woodwork, art, textiles and much more.

Northacre College also offers a wide range of vocational qualifications. You can do a 1-year
certificate or a 2-year diploma in subjects like electrics, plumbing, roofing and hairdressing.
If you’d prefer to work outdoors, look at Milldown College, where there are courses in Farm
Mechanics, Land Management, Animal Management and much more.

A final option is to get an apprenticeship with a local or national company. You will get on-
the-job training, gain certificates or diplomas and start earning straight away. But be
warned - places are limited! Find out more at the Jobs Fair on 26th May at Northacre
College.
