Ours is fairly formal. You don't have to wear a full suit, i'm wearing a shirt, suit trousers, black tie and shoes. The price I paid for my Grad Mass stuff was gastronomical, really really ridiculous! And I also have 3 Grads this year so i'll have to get a full suit or two for them! Ours is Thursday, can't wait, i'm actually super excited. Our School puts in a MASSIVE effort into the Grad Mass every year so it's always amazing! Our Grad Song is 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield and it's actually amazing! My whole Music class is performing at it so it should be a fun night! I'm also reading and presenting flowers to our year head (who I know will kiss me on the cheek in-front of everyone and i'll feckin' die of embarassment)
In other news, got the English and Business department awards today during our ceremony! Absolutely delighted tbh!

We're doing unwritten too. :L Well, as part of a medley.
And we wear uniforms to ours, we even have classes beforehand in the morning.0 -
We wear uniforms to ours, it's at 5pm on Friday. It's half in the church next door and half in the school, meaning massively awkward walk halfway through.
Our school puts tons of effort in though, everything's all decorated in whatever colour scheme we pick, we all get a cert and keepsake, we do all the music, we release balloons at the end etc.
Our grad song is "Wherever I Go" - once you get over the cringeyness of having a Miley Cyrus song it's epically fitting!0 -

Our school doesn't do a graduation. :P There's a mass next Thursday though, and usually the whole year goes to the pub afterwards. The prom's in July, which is quite late really! It's nice though, right in the middle of the summer.
Our year is so small though, kinda like yours subz3ro, only like 35 people. 0 -

Ok, so originally I had intended to ask like twenty of my closest friends in the year to come for mine for two hours for pre-drinks before the pub on grad night... Word has gotten out and it seems like the world and her mother are now gonna come down. There's nearly 100 people in my year and all live within a ten mile radius of my house.
Jesus this is gonna be messy.:rolleyes: 0 -

Just talk about the power of the church, hypocrisy, self-importance of the mother and like a bit on the oppression of women or what?
Damnit! I've consistently gotten B2s in Irish for the last three years, excluding the C1 in this year's mock. :cool:
Ehhhm, yes. (I really need to revise An Triail.) 0 -

Yeah same, it's not a good sign that I have to write an essay still using notes 2 weeks before the exam :pac: 0 -

Same except for some reason I really don't like it this year. The course changes are so nice too, make it way easier! I think my love of Irish died at some point during paper 2 last year, hated it - 13 poems AND stair na Gaeilge plus the prose and An Triail - awful! Not doing a tap for anything bar An Triail didn't help either, definitely brought me down a grade or two! :cool: 0 -

Surely your an expert on An Triail now after three years? :P 0 -
