    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

    I can't face the prospect of new fifth years who aren't me and everyone else!! That means we're really 6th years!:eek::p

    But anyway, I actually really liked 5th year for the most part, enjoy it guys, its not as bad as they say!!:)

    Do you not think it's abit early for this thread. The people that this thread is for are probably just finished school or else preparing for their Junior Cert & it'll probably get merged with the other 5th year thread anyway :p

    +1 :( We've gotta make a new thread in September.

    "The once fifth years, now sixth years chat thread."

    Although Summer is only beginning (YAY! :D) this is a thread for all students who will be starting 5th year (and the Leaving Cert course) in September of 2011. I decided to make this after seeing the success of the current 5th year thread.
    Jeez, you're quick off the mark!! :eek:

    No, it won't! :P

    It may however have gotten lost by September, but sure we'll see!

    Hey guys, just finished TY and loved it so I'm looking forward to 5th year in September :D Just wondering if there's anywhere that do subjects outside school, preferably Business, Economics or Design Graphics. Really want to maximise my points for the Leaving Cert!

    Que PictureFrame...

    Wut?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show


    Very early indeed. :p

    Well I have to do my JC next week, but I'm skipping TY so I suppose I can post here. Next years subjects? All at higher level - English, Irish, Maths, French, Biology, Chemistry, Accounting and Applied Maths as an extra subject if I'm able for it. I may end up changing to History at some stage, I agonised over my decision for ages. :o

    Basically where can you do subjects outside school? :p I heard Leeson Street do some but they're expensive

    Short answer, don't do extra subjects unless you already know them (ie music and your grade 10). Otherwise leeson street is your only option,its just a lot of work. You're taking subjects for points, not interest sadly :( Business you could easily do on your own though, you wouldn't need to get a grind every week. :)

    I don't think its that early, just that 3rd and 4th years seem to have a very small presence on boards in comparison to 5th and 6th years who'll do anything possible to procrastinate :P

    Ah come on. People all around the country do extra subjects, not just Dubliners!

    There are many options for extra subjects. Grinds, evening classes (which are available around the country), online grinds, going it alone, the help of a teacher in school etc.

    Starting 5th this September. I'm not doing TY:)
    I'm doing economics outside of school, my school isn't doing it :(
    I'm also doing Eng(H) Irish(h) maths(h) French , geography and business. So I'm only doing 6 subjects in school, but I don't want to do History or a science( bio or Chem), I would of done physics if my school was doing it. Or accounting. Uhhh my school hardly does anything I like! I might move for 6th year. We'll see:)
    Bonjour to all the other 5th years 2011/2012 :)

    It wasn't a particularly serious comment! :p

    It might, however, be useful to remember that not all of your eminent mods are bloomin' jackeens! :cool:

    More than likely the Institute of Education. It's expensive but it's supposed to be really good, and I haven't got many other options.

    Economics is on Friday nights 5.30-7pm I believe :)

    I was thinking I'd do it in the Institute, but it is rather expensive :p I'll look into it more anyways

    Yeah that's the downside. My sis went for Easter revision courses and found them really good. I dont think they start till the middle of September so there's a while to think about it.

    What subjects are you going to do in school? :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    Ya. I'm one of these 5th years from September.
