The excitement, nerves and relief of Leaving Cert results day were all on display at Maynooth Post Primary, where students gathered.
Some students chose not to see their results online and instead came to the school to open their envelopes.
From the anxious moments before the big reveal to the celebrations that followed, emotions ran high as months of hard work came down to a single sheet of paper.
RTÉ News was live at the school to capture those first reactions as students shared their results, their next steps, and their hopes for the future.
