Im still in the one i started out in, waaaay back in 4th class/form,

St.Michaels College.

(I only realised recently that its spelt, Michaels rather than Micheals, *shrugs*)

I didn't even know you could spell Michael with the e and the a swapped around!

All you need to know is that it's like nearly every other public school in the country:

- Heating is never put on (until the last day before Christmas holidays)

- Teachers can't control classes, e.g. Desk wars in French. Good times.

- There are these cool kids who stand around the back of the school smoking and any time someone else walks by they shout "Does anyone have a fag, man". God I envy them.

My school is eaxactly lie that except we're generally very well behaved and the teachers don't need to control the classes.

I only found out from my HW Journal that it wasnt spelt like that, i blame the people who steal the Iron letters on the wall outside the school! Thus not letting me know how to spell my own schools name!

While my teacher was away in Lourdes, we had a bible fight, with a huge pile of Gideons we found in the corner, THEY HURT!

And we're the actual LC class for religion, i wonder what the others are like.

Wow yizzer free with your info.

And what are your PINs, by any chance? E-mail passwords?

My school occasionally had the heating on in summer, inexplicably.

And, wait... K4t, you're saying there aren't cool smoking kids in private schools? What a miserable existence. My school even put a bin up round the back for them to put empty packets etc. in. The ground was always full of cigarette butts anyway, though. Littering bastids.
Though the smoking spot being beside the 6th year classes was quite funny at times... if the vice principal came into my class, as soon as she left to go to the next one, a girl would leg it down to the smoking spot and tell them to run away before they got caught. With the amount of yelling it involved, though, I don't think they were fooling anyone.

timmywex · 02-10-2008 3:48pm

Saint Peters College, Wexford.............yup you guessed it, the ferns report place :L:L

We have heating from october the first until 31st march inclusive, no heating outside this time even if its bitterly cold, and if we somehow got a 20 degrees day this month, we'd still have heating!

:D

But apart from that, no real messing, bitta craic but everyoe gets down to it during classes,,,,,and the smokers arent the cool people, its just all the grundgers nowadays, who no one likes tbh! :L

Before this thread becomes nothing more than a list of schools, if any of you have switched schools, how do you find your new one? Any major differences in approach?
Better? Worse? The same?

rhapsody! · 02-10-2008 6:29pm

I was in a presentation school for 4 years (1st-TY) then moved to a college wihch is way better and you're treated like a person. you get hours set aside for study during school so you get your written work done at school and study done at home. way better method than anything else imo.

Hm, I went to a presentation school and we had supervised study after school for those who wanted it, and some study periods during the day too. (Well those disappeared for 6th year for some bizarre reason, but normally they were there...)

I've been through 3 schools (now on my 3rd), and im happier than i ever have been before. Not only with the school, but the enviroment, the teachers, the performance, the notes, the students..

Shanotheslayer · 03-10-2008 6:37am

Some of the heating has now been turned on in my school
:cool:

/cheer:)

Pigwidgeon · 03-10-2008 5:15pm

apparently my school can't afford to turn the heating on until november, yet conviently when you walk by the staff room or office you are blasted with heat!

Colaiiste an chroi naofa -Carraig na bh Fear, Cork.

The heating was turned on for the first time today!:D but I bet you come December theyll realise they cant afford it on anymore and turn it off! Still though for the first time this year the teachers get there own rooms and have started bringing in plug in heaters!

I'm in the same school in Drogheda I've been in since 1st year. A friend of mine moved this year to a new school and she's still doing no work. IMO it doesn't matter what school you go to whether it's public or private if you're going to work you can work anywhere! I've heard of people going to the Institute for the leaving and doing a lot worse than they were expecting simply because they felt the fact they were in the Institute would help them sail through with no work. I'm not saying that everyone is like this but it just proves the point that if you're going to work you will.
