i'm in year 11 and this year i've been working about 10 hours a week at my job. what are people's thoughts about working in year 12? if you've worked, how many hours a week did you do?

Work weekends if you want.
It really gets you out of the house and allows you to relax.
I dont know about weekdays. I dont work them anymore
Friday nites saturday days for me

I was the same as you, i probably worked around 15 hours a week in year 11, if not more. This year.....hm i think i was still doing 10 hours up until say 2 months before exams? but really i should have kept working. Year 12 isn't as scary as people make it out to be haha, you can't study all the time.

10 hours a week isn't very much, so i think thats a good amount. If most of its on weekends, even better.

(I've never had a job, so i'm just assuming that)

work on weekends. once you hit 18, and have no job experience, you will struggle to find a JOB!!! unless you have connections.

i've been working since yr10 (after work experience, at coles). I dont work that often. sometimes on sat and sundays, but mostly just on sundays because they have x1.5 pay.

when exam time comes along, just make sure you let your supervisor know that you want some time off.. make sure if you tell your supervisor first before anyone else does. haha. because if you tell your supervisor after everyone else has, then the chances of your supervisor letting you have a few weeks off to study decreases. because in most retailers, casuals (students) work on weekends.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER!!

Yeh but I still had to deal with two 3/4 subjects (even though its less than half of the year 12 workload lol)
And also the example of my brother who did year 12 this year. He worked maybe 8 hours a week on the weekends. Got him some cash and diversified his life a bit. Not just a monotone of homework.

Do you reckon that I could say "tutoring" was work experience? I haven't had any boss in my entire life, so maybe they might think that is a bad thing.

Tutoring is defenetly a form of work but it depends what you classify work experience as. I would still put a resume that you've been tutoring for over a year or whatever.

Of course. It's a resume, so you just make it sound really good like by saying how this has given you skills in organisation, leadership, mentoring, communication etc.
Also I don't think you'll have problems getting a job coblin haha, ya know with the whole uni degree and all

I work 5 hours on a Friday night, and 9 hours on a Saturday. I work at Coles, but I'm only in Year 11 (juggling two 3/4s), I'll probably cut down next year, however.

Tutoring would count as work experience, but it would depend on what job you're applying for (as various jobs ask for different qualifications/experience). :)

I'll be working(flexible hours)and tutoring(depending on my results) :P ^_^ ... I used to work when i was in year 10 and 11 (stopped in year 12, probably a mistake)

But tutoring will definitely help me lol... considering ill be teaching ;)

Yeah, but I should still learn how to accept asshole-discipline from a boss someday before I try to enter a professional workforce.

but if you are smart (like coblin), companies will just snatch you up before you have even finished university.
