Problems at high school, I don't want others to suffer

When I went to high school, I had nothing but your average grades, and your average bullying that everyone gets

I had been very much interested in computers for many years, and it was the only subject that I really was good at, I also knew the school system like the back of my hand and could easily do what I want with it, the school knew this too and would ban me regularly for playing computer games when I wasn't supposed to

When it was getting closer to my last few years, we get offered things called VCE certificates to help us get our foot in to uni, but when I applied for a computer subject, they had turned me down, telling me I didn't know enough about computers to even consider that as an option

This hurt greatly, and I had taken great offence to this, it was like the only people that could give me a future were telling me that I was a failure, but I am over this now

What I want to do is make sure this doesn't happen to any other student, I feel as if this may be impacting on the future of other students at the school, and I would feel bad knowing that this sort of thing is still going on

I live in Australia, down in Victoria, the school I went to was Bayside Christian College
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
