Newswatch spoke to a few excited matrics about the journey so far and their future plans.


"It's very exciting and unexpected because you don't know what's going to happen next year. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing next year, we've been doing the same thing for 12 years, so it's quite a big change," said one Grade 12.


"Today's paper went better than I expected. I was actually quite scared, I had such bad anxiety before. The rest of the papers were actually quite good ," said another.


"I'm feeling quite chilled after the exam, it was quite difficult but I think I managed through it quite well. I liked the English paper today, I think I got my creative juices flowing with an amazing essay. Hopefully I'm going to study medicine and become a doctor," said a confident third.


Pupils writing Agricultural Management Practices and Design will have to wait until tomorrow before their timetable wraps up.
