It's the end of lazy days lounging on the beach and late nights hanging out with friends.
Yep, schools baaaaack! GIRL took to the streets to find out what you were all most looking forward to, dreading and hoping to achieve going back to school this year.
I'm looking forward to seeing my friends, but have not missed the homework these holidays. I want to get all A's and be an accountant when I leave school.
Kara (15)
I'm looking forward to passing the year with good marks, dreading that I don't get the marks I need - I'm repeating year 12. I'm hope to show everyone how smart I can be.
Simon (18)
I want to get good grades and avoid the teachers this year - that'll make me happy! Especially the ones who tell me off for laughing too much.
Laura (15)
I'm dreading maths - I really suck in that department, and I REALLY would like to get good grades for once.
Danielle (16)
I just got my license so I want to show my mates my car and hopefully it'll be a chick magnet this year. I can do the Hungry Jacks lunch run!
Brian (17)
I've missed my mates but NOT my teachers. I'm going to try harder in science this year and stop talking so much in class!
Tina (14)
I just want to get this year over and done with and not get detention once. Oh and get a high enough score to do engineering at uni next year.
Amon (17)
I can't wait to start high school. It's so exciting. I just hope I make some good friends and the work is not too hard.
Katie (13)
I have to get 3 A's so my Dad will buy me a new PC - I'm looking forward to that, and I want to catch up on all the gossip.
Cherie (15)
I'm starting a new school and I'm nervous! Mum bought me a new outfit for my first day so I hope I'll fit in and make some friends. I miss my old friends.
Jodie (14)
This year I'm going to be an exchange student in America. I just found out today. Haven't told my girlfriend yet though - sorry Laura!
Samuel (16)
Seems there was a common theme - nearly everyone missed their friends, still hate their teachers and aren't looking forward to the homework! Good to know some things never change!
