We can leave school at 16 by choice. If you leave at 18 you have completed 2 voluntary years of education.

Schoolkids celebrate leaving school, end of exams etc with their peers if at all. It's just not a formal occasion.

Also, exams are at the end of the summer term and those sitting them - 16 and 18 year olds - don't attend daily school. For example my last day in school was June 20th, my last exam July 11th. I didn't see many of my classmates from June onwards. We had a Last Exam get together, but only those taking History came because no-one else was in that day.
