They've been guinea pigs for online learning and had travel and university plans upended.
Those exams have now finally come to an end and although some are sighing a pant of relief, others have been panting all along thanks to the Take the Pressure Off initiative by those running the CentrePoint Sports and Leisure Centre, The Y.
