'You can see a post where the Year 12 got a leavers assembly, an ice cream van, shirts signed and we got shoved out the back door'
A Year 14 pupil at Ulidia Integrated College in Carrickfergus says she and her classmates feel like they were "shoved out the back door" after their date for study leave was moved up by five days with only 10 minutes notice.
The plan had originally been for the year group to finish up for study leave on May 10, but that was moved up to May 5 with little notice given.The student admitted that a water fight had been planned for the last day but said that it was to be held away from the school. "On the Friday, May 5, it was the Year 12 leaver and we all knew about that, we all watched them get their shirts signed."They announced that they were starting our study leave now and some students went up to get their belongings and they were escorted as they did so, in case there was any backlash.
The pupil said it was frustrating as it affected some courses that were in the process of finishing up and it meant some pupils would have to come back in to school to hand in pieces of work.
