Leaving and Junior cert students in Carlow and Kilkenny urged to stay in “exam mode” this weekend

Leaving and Junior Cert students across Carlow and Kilkenny can breath a small sigh of relief this weekend as the first week of exams comes to a close.

English, Geography, Home Economics and Irish and Maths Paper 1 are just some of the exams that are over and done with.

But the stress will continue next week with Maths and Irish Paper 2.

Paul Thornton is principal of Tullow Community School, he says local students should stay in exam mode this weekend in preparation for next weeks’ exams.
