A good Leaving Cert yearbook records the people, not just the year. Here is a checklist of sections.
The essentials
- A full page for every student
- Class and year photos
- A message from the principal and year head
- Staff pages or a teacher thank-you spread
- Class lists, spelled and checked twice
The extras that people read first
- Trips, retreats and school events
- Sports and clubs
- Awards and achievements
- Student polls and in-jokes
- A page of plans for next year
- A time capsule: a note to the school in ten years
Make it feel personal
Give every student the same set of prompts so pages feel equal but not identical. At AerEthos each student gets a page designed around them, with their quote, a standout moment and thirty photos' worth of memories if they have them.
