    You doing pass or honours irish and maths? If you need any help chosing teachers let me know.Iv had them all lol. It's cool cause they give you a list of all the subjects,teachers and times the classes are on and you make up your own timetable! I dont have to do irish or maths this year thank god cause I have the leaving cert requirement in them:D but have to take up a new subject.

    I'll be doing ordinary in both Irish and maths. Then higher English, Biology, Home Ec and Ag Science.
    Hoping that with just the six subjects i'll be able to spend more time on each subject and fingers crossed get enough points to continue on into my preferred college course next year..
    You must be delighted you don't have to sit irish or maths.. they would be the two i'm probably going to struggle with the most!

    Yeah, I've posted before but, I'm goin' to the 'tute too :rolleyes:

    I'd love to make the Higher Options thing (in Croke Park isn't it?:confused:), maybe the first day will only be a half day or will facilitate us with the option to go?
    What happened last year, or maybe the dates didn't clash?? :rolleyes:

    You have a full day usually on the first day.If you want to go to the higher options you will be allowed but only if you have a note giving you permission from your parent/guardian. Unless you are a mature student of course.

    Regarding books, I was told at my interview not to get any books until I knew what teachers I had because I might not need them, should I ignore this and get my books?

    I would get your english ones but not the rest.Some Teachers for the other subjects only use notes that they give you.They will tell you in your first class if you need them

    nah i wouldn't go buying books just yet could be a waste of money if you end up not using them.Most teachers just use their own notes in class but you might decide yourself to go out and buy the textbook anyhow to help with studying.I plan on just using the revise wise books with the notes:cool:

    For the first week I think your able to go to whatever teacher you want so you'll have your own opinions on the teachers but
    For English i'd say
    Cathy Sweeney - Comparative, Jim Lusby- Language, Denis Creaven -poetry, Paul Mc Cormack- Single text
    For Business Keith Hannigan
