    My son has to repeat his leaving cert and I was wondering where in Waterford City or surrounds do this. The school he went to has very limited places so there is no guarantee that he gets a place. Even if he could repeat some subjects that would be a help.

    I would have assumed any secondary school? Yeats College even?

    De la Salle College up by the People's Park would be the main school that takes repeats. Yeats would be an option but you have to pay there.

    De La Salle have gotten really strict on it in the last two years since the principal changed. Yeats is probably the best bet.

    De La Salle only have 10 places for repeat leaving this year, less than other years due to two extra first year classes and an extra transition year this year, resources will need to go into those extra classes. Yeats is expensive but we shall keep applying around and see what we can come up with. Thanks for your suggestions all.
