    My school says half 10 to 11

    Far as I know they should be available everywhere from 9am. Available on the internet from 12 isn't it??


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,739 ✭✭✭Jello


    From 9:30 in my school, best just to give your school a ring and find out.

    Our school never told us, we're all just heading down for nine anyway. Even if we don't get the results straight away we can have a bit of craic waiting!

    My school is from 9 - 12. You can show up at anytime but they expect everybody early. I'd say there's going to be some sort of assembly as well :pac:

    Our school never told us (St. Joseph's The Bish in Galway). I tried calling today at about 4.30, but got voicemail three times - obviously shut up shop at 4.00. We're all going in at 9.00 and like Gallows said, it'll be a bit of craic even if we have to wait.

    There are a few housekeeping things that need to be done once the results arrive in the school - a quick check that all the results are there and that there are no unexpected subjects or levels, then most schools separate the carbon copy from the back of the results, file the copy in student files and put the front copy of the results in individual envelopes for each candidate to collect.

    Generally speaking there are staff on hand to help with all this, so they shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes, even in a big school.

    Some schools send someone to the delivery office to collect the results early, but An Post have been quite good in recent years getting them out to schools before 9.30am, so as a general rule, you should be able to get them by 10am - certainly by 11am at the latest. They're online from noon.

    Some schools may have their own procedures as mentioned before.

    I think I'm going to pull an all-nighter because there is not a fear that I will be able to get up for 9am!

    Solution: Sleep until 12 -> check results online

    So do An Post only deliver the results tomorrow morning? I thought they would have done it today at some stage.

    Yeah, they come in the post tomorrow, though some years I've accompanied another teacher up to the delivery office to collect them.

    I'm not sure, but it's possible Athlone schools could have them earlier, if they have made arrangements with the SEC to collect them at Cornamaddy.

    You don't check your results online, it's just unheard of.
