"I can’t emphasise enough how supportive Brenda was. I genuinely couldn’t have gotten through the two

years without her and I certainly wouldn’t have gotten what I wanted without her support. During my

Leaving Cert I was probably the calmest I have ever been and even now, I’ve learned to keep my stress

under control because of her."

"I found Brenda very supportive. We all had our bad days/weeks or our mental breakdowns and she was

always there to comfort us or tell a joke that had us all laughing. I always felt like I could tell her if I was

feeling stressed or worn out and she would always do her best to help us through. Throughout the year

she could always tell when we were able to power through with work or when we were all exhausted and

needed to come down a gear."

"Brenda was very supportive. She always encouraged us to do our best, whatever that was. It was very

beneficial to have all your hard work acknowledged each week and she always commended us on what we

got done instead of criticising what we could not, as many teachers do. She always offered good advice on

study, lifestyle, and mental health."

"Brenda gets a 10 out of 10! I wouldn’t have completed my leaving cert and progressed to third level if not

for her. Just make Brenda the Minister for Education and all will be good in the world!"

"I could trust the information that Brenda gave us. I knew that I wasn’t doing too little work and also

not doing too much either. If I had not had this help, I can imagine that my leaving cert would have been a

lot more stressful than it needed to be."

"Brenda was the best, I wouldn’t have survived the year without her!!!!"

"Brenda was incredibly supportive. She’s extremely knowledgeable and very easy to approach."
