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.

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:
