    just wondering about work experience. What happens or what do you do if you want or have a work experience placement for a week that isn't in the prescribed weeks given by the school

    I don't think you're marked absent for that week, they must just mark you down that you're doing work experience! Idk if that answers your question at all hahah

    It depends on the placement in my school. Ask your year head, if its a really good placement they may let you do it outside of the prescribed weeks.

    That's actually so stupid. Why make you go in for one day and then it's the weekend ? :confused:

    They slowly bring everyone back in our school. 1st years today, JC and LC tomorrow, 2nd years on Wednesday, 5th years on Thursday, and TY's on Friday.

    It's just how it's always done, I'm fairly neutral about it myself. Nothing is done in the first week in my school anyway, regardless of what year it is. So I'm kinda glad to be catching the end of the week of "somewhat-organised chaos" and start properly on Monday.

    I'm back tomorrow 2 - 4 and then full day on Friday (which is actually only till half 1) I think they do it to ease us in!

    I guess that makes sense then. I thought the whole school was back on the same day :o

    Got my timetable today. We're doing a good few modules (horticulture, home ec. politics, etc.) I doubt philosophy with the most boring teacher of all time will be much fun though :( Overall, I'm really excited for the year :D

    We're due to start work experience the 1st of September (Monday :o), will I be annihilated if I've not got any work experience?

    I have got work experience organised but there's always going to be people who have forgotten, haven't bothered or had trouble getting work experience so I wouldn't worry too much, you won't be the only one.

    In my school the Ty coordinator told us we need it every Friday, but a past TY student told us that you only need the minimum of 1 Friday! So I say you'll be grand!

    I haven't sent any emails about work experience yet...

    Of course it would help if we were actually told our work experience dates...:rolleyes:

    Go into places with CVs and ask can you speak to the manager, cause I don't think any of the shop staff bother giving them in! Write on the top of your CV "ty work experience' cause the manager will probs think its just for a job and they get loads of CVs about jobs!

    I wasn't looking forward to double music this morning expecting it to just be theory. We get in, and the teacher tells us that the school has bought 25 ukuleles and that we'll get to keep them for 7-8 weeks. I now can't wait for music, and I think I may buy one myself when I have to give it back, and they're only 25 euro. Really looking forward to this year!
