While Laois has suppressed the Covid-19 virus down to just two new cases per day, schools here and across Ireland have been told not to hold large graduation ceremonies for sixth year students.
Leaving Cert students are advised not to celebrate until their exams are finished and parents are not to come to the school for ceremonies, the HSE has advised.
Dr Tony Holohan said that the precautions must be taken so students can sit leaving Cert exams. Many of us have fond memories of our time in school, particularly the traditional celebrations that mark the formal end of in-school learning like graduation ceremonies for sixth-year students. I am aware that this is an important time in the lives of young adults as they take a break from studying for an evening to celebrate with friends.
