I was hoping to have my CPL by the time I finish school but I dont think I could afford it. Maybe just my PPL and I'll get my CPL later.
I highly doubt that you would be able to gain your CPL before you finish school. Firstly your parents would have to be loaded . Secondly the amount of study would just kill you. I'm just going into year 12 now and these 6 week christmas holidays have been reading the BAK and PPL books and getting the theory over and done with, on-top of school assignments and all the crap associated with school. So when school starts again I can start the NAV's and not have to worry about the theory, which should let me concentrate on school, which won't happen anyway

Also remember that you have to be 18 to hold a CPL, so you might not turn 18 until after you finish school. I wouldn't fancy your chances of landing a job either literally the day after you finished school!!!
