There are concerns over employers making young people work during school hours.

James Cook High School principal Grant McMillan says most employers are helpful and work with the school.

But he says some fast food places and construction sites make kids ditch school for work.

"Sadly, there are a small group of employers who tend to exploit young people by ensuring that the employer's needs are met before the young person's school - or other needs - are met."
