'I hope we go back to school in September on time' writes 5th year Tipperary student

This week has been a whirlwind to be honest. I didn't know I could be so busy in my own home. Summer tests started this week (or when you're reading this, last week). It was very odd, setting up my laptop, clearing my desk and reminding my family 10 ...

“We need to stay vigilant,” says Tipperary student Michaela Grace-Ginty

Okay, so we are all becoming more adjusted to this new ‘normal’, but we must not become complacent. That is when one death turns into five, and five infections turns into fifty. We’re all in this for the long run. For each other. It is fair to say ...

What would have been our Easter holidays from school is now over and so it's straight back into the books for all of us. The past two weeks have left a lot of room for Netflix binge watching while of course eating every Easter egg in the house. ...

'This is a marathon not a sprint' writes Thurles student Michaela Grace – Ginty

I've had a pretty busy schedule this week. Between classes, homework (although, I guess everything is homework at this point) and avoiding productivity, it has been very tiring. I feel disappointed in the Department of Education. And I know ...

Life in lockdown: "It's all about perspective" says Michaela Grace – Ginty

What is May the 5th? Like seriously, is it going to be D-day or something? I know by the time anyone is reading this, you will know what all the fuss was about. I hear it in the house, on the news... I'm surprised there isn't a 24 hour ...

‘If we winter this one out, we can summer anywhere’ writes Tipperary student Kaci Kerwick

This week I have to admit I struggled to stay focused when doing my school work. I found myself zoning out and day-dreaming constantly, making it impossible to get work done. I did get a lot of it done but I found I was getting ...

Tipperary student Michaela Grace-Ginty on life during the Covid-19 pandemic

I used to tell myself I wouldn’t get stuff done, just because I was rushing, that I had no time. Turns out time was not the problem. I was. Apparently my one true love is procrastination. I tell myself I'm going to do stuff, ...

'Sometimes the bad news can be overwhelming', writes Tipperary student Kaci Kerwick

You won't be surprised to know that my routine this week has not really changed whatsoever! I have been really enjoying the gorgeous weather (the closest any of us will get to a foreign holiday this year) and have been well ...

‘Stay strong and know this will all be over soon,’ writes Michaela Grace-Ginty

It's fair to say that this week has been pretty hectic. I realised summer exams were in two weeks' time. Yes, I still have summer exams. I've been working on end-of-year projects and catching up on notes. I guess what I ...

'Cut toxic influencers from social media feeds' writes Kaci Kerwick

This week, just like the others, online classes resumed and my days were filled with lengthy emails from my teachers. I have to say I kept up with them fairly well which I’m quite proud of! I also advanced in my ...
