Leaving Cert students fairly pleased with first foray

Leaving Certificate students at St Angela’s College in Cork City were fairly pleased with how they fared in the first papers.

With the second paper in English more of a concern, most felt there was little enough preparation to be done for Paper 1, which they began at 9.30am. By the time they emerged soon after midday, the mood was quite positive.

“It wasn’t what I was expecting, there was a comprehension piece on Seamus Heaney so I’m worried he won’t come up in Paper 2 now,” said Lorna Allen from Douglas.
