Yup..1st year,2nd yr and 3rd year are compulsary..then you decide if you want to do TY (optional) If you dont want to do TY then you do fourth year..and in 5th year you do your leaving cert..i always thought it was the same in every school!!:rolleyes:

yeah-boy

Woah ... ye all seem to get really short luncbreaks !

We get 15 mins for Break and 1hr 10 mins for Lunch.
9x38 mins classes 9-4 lol

Anyway I have done TY last year and I found it the worst thing ever. We done EVERY SINGLE leaving cert subject aswell as a couple of modules. It seriously was such a waste of a year, We were the first year to try out the new TY method. Mostly negative in the school cos we basically sat and talked all year. It was some doss tbh. Anyway just back from school today where Im going into 5th yr and OMG im so scared, I didnt lift a finger, we are all so screwed ! Really need to get my head down! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Yeah just finished the 2nd day of TY..so tiring finishing at 4!! haha but tomorrow,thur and fri we are finished at 3.20 soo not too bad!! I love TY though..Our school got a big grant this year for TY and we have already planned to go to an adventure centre, surfing and somewhere else cant remember..Does anyone else do PD as a subject? Personal development? We are getting an electronic baby..that you have to look after for a day..it crys between 7-16 times a night and has sensors so it knows if its nappy was changed or if it was fed when it cryed..and all that..and if you supported its head properly..And then the next day at school the teacher connects it to the computer and it gives a print out of how you did!! i cant wait!! It looks just like a doll though..haha same weight as a baby..and you have an electronic tag sealed on your hand that the teacher cuts off the next day..so you cant leave someone else babysitting!!:rolleyes:

We have "Mental Health"........no SPHE or PD tho

Today we went to the ol' Tain Village adventure centre to do rock climbing,Archory,Kaycking and Bannana Boat-was mostly savage, though wet suits are not flattering on over weight people like meself

These early mornings are battering me-my systems not used to the 5/6 hours sleep yet

God T.Y is so boring in my school granted this is the year we do the concert(only do it every 2 years) but so far it has just been ****e.Being told we have to pay from 150 euro to do a P.L.D.C course for which I already I know 3 quarters of the **** because my brother was a computer programmer:mad: :mad: why couldn't that money be spent somewhere else like a decent school trip our school never goes outside the country.......

Well like, dragging around a robot-baby thing and having to look after it would really creep me out! It's feel like when I was 6 and baby borns were all the rage. (and my sister drew on my one's head )
