IT was GCSE results day last week – with teenagers across St Helens finding out their exam results.
Having spent the past two years working towards the national assessments, the youngsters headed out to schools across the town this morning to pick up their grades.
Many students have been celebrating and preparing to head off to their chosen colleges and work placements.
We asked you to share some well done messages for your sons and daughters and here is a selection.
