It helps you socialize, make more friends, share ideas and share creativity
Because we meet other people who are in the same situation. I think this helps a lot
It was genuinely good craic, made me a bit more confident in myself both acting wise and LC wise knowing I’m not the only one with worries.
Greatly enjoyed the experience and talking to new people
It gives you confidence to start studying and get your head down to pass
Not to stress for the leaving cert
When people work together you can create something really great
That I am able to perform in front of people
The people you wouldn’t expect to speak up In front of others did
Teachers feedback
What were your expectations of the workshop and to what extent did the workshop meet your expectations?
For students to get together and discuss their concerns about the Leaving Certificate exam. It went above expectations, it was interactive, refreshing and the students really enjoyed working with other students.
That they would love to do it again
That it was fun, interactive and really enjoyable. Very unique and a brilliant morning they had with the students of their school and other schools
I asked for feedback and they said they enjoyed meeting new people from other schools and creating a space for them to discuss their fears about the Leaving Cert and it was reassuring that they all have the same fears. They liked sharing ideas, working with others, learning from others, teamwork and acting. They felt comfortable and safe in the environment.
