St Mary’s pgce Irish medium interview

Hi would love some insight into how the interview for st Mary’s pgce Belfast goes. Tried looking online and there doesn’t seem to be any tips or information on how to do well/ pass the interview. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

The predictable questions are

Why teaching - and not Child Nursing, Social Work or whatever.

Why that age group or secondary subject.

Why Irish speaking.

Questions about your work-experience.

What issues are currently impacting the profession - and any specifically in NI.

'What would you do if' questions.
