I'm so nervous for it! Currently just trying to get all my ideas together to make the presentation, just a work in progress at the moment!

Good luck with your preparations!

Good luck to you too!

I have some makeshift notes it's just stressful trying to find time where I can form them into brief notes without going overboard on information.

I totally get that! I have so much work for A-levels as well, its difficult to find the time to properly spend on it.

Hi I’m not sure if u applied to st Mary’s or not although I just wanted to let u know I am also hoping to get to stran but I applied to st Mary’s as a backup as it doesn’t take up any of my ucas choices and it’s applied for directly through the college, I recieved an offer for John moores and I’m thinking of putting it as my insurance if I am to get an offer for stran but u also have until august to make a decision on st Mary’s so if u get to the end and think going away isn’t for u, then there is always that option xx

I haven't applied to st mary's as I don't think they have early years courses rather than full-on teaching as id rather be classroom assistant first then see if teaching stands out to me or not. Plus I used 3 of my 5 choices to be universities in England which they have accepted me which I'm grateful however Travel is the issue. I have applied for Stran and Omagh South West College both for same degree but omagh SWC has a foundation year included xx
How'd everyone find their interviews? :smile:
I thought it went okay apart from the first question maybe. How about you

Thank you! I reckon we could hear from Stran by late March or April.

I waffled too - I wouldn't worry as long as you kept to the time and answered the questions - you should be 100%, Well done! x

Well done for doing the interview, I'm hoping they don't take too long for responses too!

Hi, Sorry I know this is random and not Stran related but does anyone have any idea if we still get off school earlier (i.e. kind of like study leave) this year or will we have to attend school full term until the end of June? We are getting two sets of assessments before and after Easter but I don't know what we'll be taught until the end of June if that's the case aha
