The best days of your life, or so the saying goes. Well you would probably struggle to find many people actually in school who would agree with this dewy eyed sentiment. Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly a formative time, and while the Leaving Cert should never be viewed as a life or death matter, it is important that you reach your potential and are fully aware of all your options. A good performance in the subjects that are most suited to your goals will make the transition to college and a successful future career that much easier.

Which is why we have compiled this 'In School' section: it's filled with helpful advice, from understanding the CAO process to a guide to the Transition Year option. Additional useful material will be added over the coming week and months, so why not pay us a visit from time to time?
