We moved in 1990. Lucky my brother had just got his licence so he'd drive my sister and I to our old school to finish off the last few months of that year. I believe it was the year my sister graduated. It was year 6 for me.
Grade 7 I went to a new primary school.
I'd always looked forward to going to Lockridge High School because they had a farm. Instead I ended up at Swan View. I have a feeling if I'd gone to Lockridge I would have had a much clearer direction, having the opportunity to work up close with animals from the get-go, instead of going on weird tangents where I wanted to do things like English or Psychology or Youth Work.
I was also a very good student back in Lockridge, I often got 100% on tests.
While I did okay in year 8 and 9, year 10 onwards was a bit of fail. The only bright side of that was that I didn't get into uni and waste my time doing a degree I had no interest in, insteaded I wasted 2 years at TAFE getting a Diploma in something I hated and later went to uni and did what I actually wanted to do.
