A Note on Safety:
While closures are inconvenient, they're often a necessary precaution to ensure the safety of students and staff. It's a delicate balance between keeping everyone safe and maintaining a consistent education schedule.
Stay Informed, Stay Safe:
As the situation evolves, it's crucial to stay updated. BBC News NI will continue to provide updates, so keep an eye out for any further developments.
