Gangsta Rapper.
Hard to shut up. Just non-stop jibber jabber, he makes up for it by going to Portugal on
the cigarette run and supplying the boys with cheap smokes. (Michael Fearon)
Carlsberg don’t do students but if they did... (Mrs Lane – or alternatively, Conor Sweeney)

Future Prospects:
Argumentative, arrogant, lazy, disorganised – but I do have excellent hair
growing capability.
Going to play right back for Manchester United, the new Gary Neville they’ll call me

what dreams I have!
Peer Comment:
Conor enjoys being right.....A LOT! (Vincent O’Rourke)

Last Words:
In the four years I’ve taught Conor he has matured into an exemplary student; a credit
to his family and the school. You brought great craic and atmosphere to the class, even
when you thought I’d lost your coursework! You have a great attitude and I know you
have a very bright future ahead. Good luck. (Mrs McCorry)
