Leaving certs finish up in our school around the 22nd may. They dont tell us the official date, we'll just all be called to the hall one of the days that week and told to feck off home....:eek: then some will have us in for extra classes the following week when the rest are doing summer tests...

our grad is either 11th/12th may, i forget which. mass in the church and then we're renting a nightclub too.

we don't get any time off before the exams. we do 2 weeks of block classes (like an hour and a half each) while the rest of the school are doing the summer exams.

F**k that! I'm taking the last three weeks off.

I'm going to drink myself into a coma on grad night so I'll get an exemption from doing the Leaving. Ingenius.

ya-ba-da-ba-doo

grad mass is on 15th of may i think.. dont know when school ends tho..

Jello

We're having a mass, then back into the school for some food I'd say while the parents all talk to each other and whatever. Then we all head to a club along with some of the teachers, should be great fun getting pissed with them Can't wait for it actually.

We also plant a tree in the school grounds!

zonEEE

Grad mass is on the 13th of may and they traditionally leaving certs finish up after that date. Theres still class but most stay at home and study. Mass at 8 followed by a serious session!

Then the grad is in September meal and disco then to a night club. Then up to the school the following morning to pop into all the teachers all the teachers and make harass the school!

Gavin "shels"

Off on the 22nd May supposely, hasn't been confirmed yet. Nothing planned for grad, no mass, presentations or anything, suppose thats the crap we get from being in a tiny school. We have a meal with the teachers in school instead.:rolleyes:

Meal in the sports hall (It'll be grand)

Our teachers know better than that after what happened last time they came out.......

Not really sure what the story is yet... It's on the 21st of May.

The day before we're supposed to be getting bouncy castles and sumo suits and things which we'll throw down in the yard. Not really sure why, but should be funny anyway. I think there's food involved too...

Then on the day of the grad there's a mass... could be in the school, could be in the church. I think there's some kind of food involved afterwards, and then we're going out somewhere. Somebody was saying they're booking something before the end of this week...

It's all very vague, or I'm just not listening... I don't know.

May 25th I think, but I'm not going so I'm not sure

Des23

21st of may we have a mass of some description.

Followed by drinking in (here's hoping!) the sun!

Then to the pub to watch the champions league final.

Then to town for some fun, I'm sure we'll be joined by half the schools in Cork.

...hundreds of severly inebriated 18 year olds....what could possibly go wrong?!

Awards ceremony in school during the day.
Mass that evening, back to school for 'refreshments'.

I keep flip-flopping on it. Part of me thinks it'll be good, but the other half knows it'll be absolute rubbish. Also everyone is treating it like the debs in my school and buying new dresses and stuff. This is a recession people!

I told them to text me if they go to a club or something afterwards.

I don't even think I'm invited to the actual mass bit anymore, because I'm a repeat. I'm getting varied reports.
Meh.

I hate when stuff like this is hyped like that to be honest! It's not a big deal, you will see the people in your year again-the following week, you won't have an awful lot of fun. There, I said it :P

We finish school officially on the 21st May, as in no more classes after that.

Our "graduation" is just some ceremony thing a day after in the school and then some dinner.

Jeez we finish on the 8th of May...

We go to the pub with most of the teachers... should be a good laf
