Dyou mean

no secondary

no ok

Like, when you're 5 years old?

Ohh okay

:gandalfwhite:

ireland is primary secondary college

primary runs for like 8 years

secondary is 5-6

Does it depend?

5 if you decide to not do Transition Year

which is a year where feck all happens

:gandalfwhite:

unless your school does really good trips or theres a cool group project like the small business one that one of the other schools did

our school blew their budget on an extension the year before

so we did nothing

Heh that's reminds me

For like 25 years our school used portacabins for classrooms

I mean they kept them clean so they looked quite nice

As nice as you can get for portacabins

oh we still had that

Yeah, they developed them after we left

even after the extension

LOL

So are you 17/18 when you leave secondary?

18

Ah right

usually

unless you were born at an odd month

or started school early

Is 16 the leaving age then? Like can you leave then or does it have to be 18

legally you can leave school but If you decide you are doing the LC(basically A levels) you will be older than 16 anyways
