Guidance Councillor,Junior Cycle,Late Breakfast

Parents should prepare for a “tough couple of days ahead” if their child is starting their Leaving Cert exams on Wednesday.

That warning came from guidance councillor Niamh Dwyer who said students' attention should be on short periods of revision, exercise, and getting organised before exams begin.

“It’s important to keep a balanced routine over the days, a very important thing is parents and students have the exam timetable hanging up and your exams highlighted.

“It’s very common and the first thing I would say is to remind your children they are going into a familiar setting,” she said.
