AFTER all of their trials, tribulations, memories and exams, the graduating class of 2019 has finally left school.

Following their last day of school on November 15, the exciting and daunting next stage of their life is about to start.

We've sat down 29 students from Burnett State College's graduating class, and asked them what their plans for the future will be, and what they'll miss most about school.

With numerous leaving town, pursuing apprenticeships, or starting gap years, the future looks bright for these school leavers.

Sheree Newcombe

•FUTURE: I want to go to university in Rockhampton or Bundaberg and study nursing. I like stuff to do with health, and figured nursing can get you heaps of places.

•WHAT YOU WILL MISS: I like the peace and quite of here, and that's why I didn't want to move a to a big city. It'll be different but it'll be fun.

Will Roth

•FUTURE: I want to be an apprentice electrician on the coast somewhere like Rockhampton, Hervey Bay, or Bundaberg, somewhere on the coast. Just want somewhere to go fishing.

•WHAT YOU WILL MISS: I have a lot of family around here so I'll miss them, and the peace and quite.

Callum Evans
