Any benefits in attending school during Term 4?

Hey everyone,
In regards to Term 4 for year 12 students, I understand theres 2 weeks primarily left at school before we go on SWOTVAC.
Is there any point in actually attending school, or would it be better off to stay home and study.
I'm asking this because i reckon if i were to go school, i would get really distracted and disrupted and would not make the most out of my time compared to if i stayed at home and actually studied.
I would probably have to go for 2 days, as I have 2 more sacs to complete, but besides that is there any point in going?
In regards to attendance, i don't think skipping 10 days of school would amount to much given i've probably missed a day or two the whole year.

Any thoughts/opinions?
Thanks everyone!

Some of my most treasured school memories were made in the last few weeks. I'd recommend everyone go until the last day.

Theres more to life than just getting a good atar- this is the last time you will see many of your friends from school (as sad as it is). Plus, you can give essays and shit to your teacher and get that all important feedback this close to the exam

I think, as important as studying is, it's still important that you don't skip out on the really memorable occasions (graduation, muck up day (arguable), etc)

If you're going to school because it's the 'last' time you'll 'see' some of your friends, chances are they're not incredibly close ones in the first place, and there's plenty of time to catch up with those that are closer over the 4 month break.

Personally I'd advise for going all in, don't skip the important occasions (the once in a lifetime up to maybe once in a. Year) but if it's something that's replaceable through the break, then skip it. You'll have plenty of time for that later
