Plans, Goals, and Responsibilities

As you approach the end of school, you need clear plans for the future. This includes academic goals (matric results), career plans (applications and funding), financial planning, and personal goals (independence, health).
Example

Post-School Planning Checklist

Academic: target specific marks based on entry requirements. Career: submit university and TVET applications by closing dates. Financial: apply for NSFAS, bursaries, or scholarships. Practical: get a certified copy of your ID, open a bank account, prepare a CV.
Note

Remember

Having a backup plan is essential. If your first choice does not work out, have alternatives ready. Gap years, learnerships, and short courses are all valid paths forward.
