Look for some day schools or night schools that offer day care programs. Theres got to be some. To be real with you i dont even think you should finish school. Just get equivalency certificate, (called GED in america. i dont know about the aussies) its the same thing unless you dont plan on going to college. If you do plan on going to college get your parents or friends to babysit for a little pay and look for grants and scholarships. With a dependent you have a very high chance of getting awarded. There are also a lot of scholarships for single mothers. and if your not a single mother just say you are. Good luck, Advive from the states "WRAP UP"

I think it really would depend on your situation really, my friend fell pregant in year 12 and she was allowed to complete the year and sit the hsc, but maybe if your were in a lower grade they may make you do some sort of correspondance, every school is different! You should still get benefits from centrelink for your child, but for you im not sure it may depend on whether you are living at home and how much your parents earn if that is the case, or if you are working and have earned over a certain amount you would be classified as an independant and can get benefits for yourself. um... thats all i know with skooling lol but i left in yr10 lol i hope that helps a bit!
