Old thread:www.mumsnet.com/Talk/further_education/3478916-Class-of-18-now-in-2019-blimey

A thread for those of us whose kids left school/sixth form/college a year ago. Friendly chat :)

@L1ttledrummergirl@littledrummergirl that's a lovely update to receive - congratulations to him!

After two years of working as a TA / LSA, DS is about to start a primary PGCE, so he'll be a student again!

Congratulations to your ds little drummer girl. I hope your Ds enjoys his PGCE bronzegate.

DD transferred to part-time study as she was struggling due to her disabilities. She is about to start her 4th year so two more years to go.

Congratulations to your DS @littledrummergirl. I left this thread as DD started university a year after everyone else, but I have often wondered how everyone's DC got on. DD graduated lat year and has stayed in her university city.

Thank you. It's lovely to hear that others completed and are returning to education.

Congratulations @littledrummergirl to your ds! What a fabulous achievement!
my dd is about to start year 13 so we are back to personal statements and university visits.

Good to hear your update @littledrummergirl. Congrats to your DS. Nice to see some of us are still hanging about 🙂

DS completed his masters last year, we attended his graduation last month. He is enjoying his London life after moving down for his job and has been lucky enough to have a group of friends (from both university and school) who are there, albeit a bit scattered around. He seems to have a good social life......

@ShanghaiDiva, my dd decided a month ago to go to university, picked up her results last week and starts in 3 weeks.

@starfleet, ds1 is just back from there. We have graduation photos from the green near Parliament with Westminster and Big Ben in the background.

Today DS has bought new shoes ready for school on Monday, despite the thread title!

The course doesn't start until the third week of September, but he'll be based at the same school where he has been working, so he is going in anyway, to help the new class settle in.

Congratulations to your ds LittleDrummerGirl!

dd graduated with her masters a year ago and settled into her new life. She's doing what she wanted to do and is content with life. It is so nice for her not to be on the annual merry go round of exams anymore.

@OhYouBadBadKitten
congratulations to your dd!

That's a lovely update @OhYouBadBadKitten. I often wondered how your DD had fared.

That's a really nice thing for him to do @Bronzegate.

That's a lovely update @OhYouBadBadKitten, it's lovely when they are living their lives well.

Ds1 is loving his job and his life, despite only 2 hours sleep last weekend when he was on call. He was exhausted but content when I saw him last.

Congratulations to all your DC. My DD is 24 today! I've hung around this thread with a few name changes. Lovely to hear updates. I remember you all.

My DD very happy in a post grad job in her desired field and socialising a lot!!!
Graduated extremely well despite being attacked 3 weeks before her finals prompting a mental health crash! Was very unwell. Somehow, she got through finals successfully and got a job 6 mths later.

Needing to let go now. Having been so close and involved - hard!! I let her contact me - which thankfully she does a lot!

Reading thread: studies, living her life, PGCEs, next sibling doing personal statement all sounds so positive.

Well done mumsnetters . You (we) did it! They grew up - and strong!
