Can he just change his electives for year 12? I know I'm in WA and finished school 12 years ago (sheesh!) but I changed at the end of year 11 because I wanted to take a different path. It was tough at first but because I loved the new subjects I didn't mind working harder.

Also will there be an option for a foundation/bridging unit in his first year at uni if he doesn't do the right subjects at school? I know my hubby bombed out in maths in year 12 and instead of choosing elective units in his first year of uni he did a foundation/bridging unit. I had friends who did science degrees that had to do the same. It seemed like a normal thing to do. Perhaps speak to the prospective students department of the uni he wants to go to and even the Course Coordinator. I've done that a few times to ask specific questions about courses and units.

Is he away at boarding school? If do that is tougher, both DH and I went to boarding school. Its hard being away from family in that last bit of schooling. Good luck I hope he finds something he is happy with. The thing to remember is that while his is all important as long as you can get into uni at all there are then so many more pathways to get to the degree or course you want. It might take a little longer but he can still get there even if things don't all go to plan at the beginning. It did for me!
