Recycling and repurposing items of clothing that are no

By now, students should be carefully thinking about their
future pathways. Whether that plan includes going to
University, TAFE, an apprenticeship, a traineeship or
getting full time employment, research needs to start now.
Students need to consider if they can afford to live away
from home, how they will travel to their desired location
(especially if not yet 18 and driving themselves) and how
they will support themselves. Now is a great time to start
this dialogue at home.
