Summer reading

For English if you haven't done your comparative yet you should ask your teacher what books you're going to be studying and then read them over the summer to get a head start

This.
Also, with English in mind, read as much as you can from as many genres as possible. A few examples would include magazine articles, reviews (music, gigs etc), property supplements... it all helps.

I recommend enjoying your summer. I agree with the above, reading books you have an interest in etc. If you could find an interesting history topic it would also be useful as you could use this for your project if it was suitable and that's 20% of your grade.

I would say to download an app like Duolingo and practise some French and Irish from time to time too, just to keep things fresh.

I presume you enjoy art, so practice sketching objects and drawing people etc too but do not do any work that will stress you out too much.

Other than that have a good summer!

Please go out and enjoy your summer, don't hole yourself inside reading about school! You'll be so sick of school work by the time the leaving cert rolls around (believe me I've been studying since October and I just want the leaving cert to be over at this stage!!). Enjoy the summer and start the hard work at school. Do something fun and possibly education related if you really insist.
