Perennial Student Journal

Description

Not every young person will tell you when something’s wrong at school — exam stress, a friendship that’s turned sour, or homework that’s become a nightly battle. This student journal was designed to make that conversation easier, without forcing it. It’s a genuine dialogue tool: a shared, structured space where a student and a parent or teacher can each write, respond, and actually see each other.

Why This Hardback Student Journal Is Different

This is a full hardback edition — built with the kind of solid binding that survives a school bag for the long haul, not a slim booklet that falls apart by half-term. Across 158 pages, it works through the things that actually weigh on students day to day — study tips, time management, goal-setting, bullying, self-esteem and exam stress — in a format built for honest back-and-forth rather than a one-way lecture. At €14, that’s a genuinely substantial hardback book for a fraction of what durability like this usually costs.

It’s designed and made in Ireland with the same care as every journal in the Get Up and Go range. If there’s a younger child at home too, our diary-for-young-people follows the same philosophy — a page-a-day space that’s genuinely theirs — pitched for the 8–12 age group – when they start to experience th challenges of being in school.

The value of this kind of structured writing isn’t just anecdotal. Research on journaling and mental health points to real benefits for young people specifically — better emotional regulation, reduced stress, and a stronger sense of being heard. This journal was built to make that easy to start, and easy for the adults in a student’s life to be part of.
