A Co Antrim teacher will be remembered as an "inspiring" educator by colleagues and pupils following her death.
Rosemary Cochrane, who was in her late 30s and from Bushmills, died on Saturday following a battle with cancer.
The mother-of-three was an English teacher at Ballycastle High School, and her funeral will take place on Wednesday at Ballywatt Presbyterian Church.
In a statement posted to social media, a spokesperson for Ballycastle High School said Ms Cochrane had been with the English department since 2009.
"In that time, she participated fully in the life of the school from writing and directing several school plays to coaching the Year 8 hockey team. She was a dedicated classroom teacher, inspiring and touching the lives of the many pupils that she taught."
The spokesperson added: "Ms Cochrane will be remembered fondly and will be deeply missed by all in our school community. Our thoughts and prayers go to her husband Richard, her three children, James, Arthur and Sean, and her wider family circle."
Pupils attending Wednesday's funeral have been asked to wear their school blazer in tribute to the teacher.
Among those to pay tribute included Karen McAleese, who said in a post: "A really wonderful teacher, she made such a positive impact on the lives of so many young people."
Former pupil Sophie Lamont wrote: "Had the best years of school with Rosemary in English. Rest easy."
Ms Cochrane was also a former member of Armoy Camogie Club, which said in a statement its members were "deeply saddened" to learn of her death, adding: "Our prayers and thoughts are with her husband, children, parents, siblings and all the extended families. Mary Queen of the Gael pray for her."
