Students say they'd still prefer to be in school
Year 11 pupils at Ballakermeen High School have been offered a venue by a local business to hold a farewell party.
They were hoping to gather on the last day of term but are unable to due to staff absences.
Katie Kissack says she and her fellow pupils appreciate the gesture but would still prefer to be in their classrooms with their teachers before they leave for good:
