    The teachers pick. The teachers of each subject meet up and make a case for a student they think should get the award. :P Ours aren't only about grades, but also about who's most interested in the subject, positive about it, etc.

    I'm probably not the most interested either so I'd be out of luck there as well :p

    Graduated today. :) Absolutely delighted. Also won the geography award (albeit not the year award, just the class) AND I got a bicycle today. It's a good day. :)

    You guys seem to have much more sane schools... our school's awards ceremony lasts about two hours. This year I'm getting eight and I feel like I'm gonna end up running around the hall trying to collect them all at the appropriate time in the ceremony. :/

    (I am thrilled about the overall Maths award and the Exemplary Academic Pupil of the Year though, they're pretty epic. :cool: )

    I would skip the award ceremony tomorrow but I'll probably have to be there to get my Fainne Or. Assuming I actually got it...I definitely have the standard of Irish but the teacher was an idiot. :L

    Bit excessive no? We have 1 student award and 1 attendance award between 90 of us. Considering my general rotten attitude towards school this year that doubly rules me out of any:pac:

    How many awards does your school have? We have one per subject, one overall student of the year, and a few attendance awards. And a person can only get one subject award.

    My aul school had loads of awards. I got Culture Award in third year (first non-debater to win it. Seriously, it was colloquially known as the debating award), 'spirit of the college' in fourth year (because I was leaving and my yearhead loved me :L)

    Aw graduation is like the best day ever. In mine last year they just have 3 awards 1 from each class the attendance and two other things I can't remember what . The graduation last year I remember my year head spoke for 20mins everyone was so bored he just went on and on rambling about random stuff. And overall it lasted 2 hours and that was after the mass. I miss the teachers from my old school it's not the same this year. The grad day/night is the best though and so fun you'll all have a great time :).

    Go to the debs, don't mind that silly girl :O You will have a great time dear :) just bring someone else :)

    Sorry for the late reply, but she just said "Ehh, oh, I'm going with a friend, sorry." Which I know is a lie since she told her friend a few days before that she's not. :/ I could tell by her expression that she was just coming up with an excuse.

    Voting slip thing came in the post today. My name on it is "Mary H. Jnr [Surname]", which is NOTHING like my actual name. I have no idea how they managed to mess it up so badly. :L

    :p

    cant wait to get stuck into and get +570 points

    please god. hopefully "praying to my guardian angel" every night and goin to 8.30am mass every sunday aids my points tally.

    it's kind of relaxing to go to mass on sunday at half 8 in the morning and just think and space out for 40 minutes then go home and get stuck into project maths

    Pissing myself remembering things my English teacher has said recently :L :L :L

    "I could be Michael Jackson. I mean, how do you know I'm not?"
    "No, I wont be drinking on grad...I've drank half a bottle of tequila before and I will not be teaching the next day. Incidentally I've also drank a full bottle of Jack Daniels before and I could ****ing see through time after"
    "I mean, I guess its because I am kinda funny...Actually I'm really funny"

    Going to miss English so much :')

    The most noticeable thing of my English classes lately is my English teacher comparing Hamlet to South Park..

    I love the man.
