Neighbours star Caitlin Stasey has vowed to continue with her education while she works on the Aussie soap.

The 17-year-old actress, who plays Rachel Kinski on the show, has admitted that she wanted to concentrate solely on her TV career last year, but she is now glad that she didn't make such a rash decision.

"I'm in Year 11 at the moment. I was originally still attending school, but after Year 10 it all became too much. Now I do it via correspondence," Caitlin told TV Week.

"I was considering leaving because it was so difficult. But I won't be here forever, and postponing my education felt a bit stupid. I didn't want to jeopardise other career options for a three, four, or five-year stint on Neighbours."
