Killarney

<h3>
<p>Leaving Cert students at Killarney Community College raised funds and awareness for mental health charity Pieta as one of their last projects of 2021.</h3>
<p>The sixth year Social Education class organised a non-uniform day just before they broke up for the Christmas holiday.</p>
<p>They raised a whopping &euro;700 while educating the rest of the school on the role of Pieta House and the importance of looking after one&#8217;s own mental health.</p>
<p>Teacher John Keane said: &#8220;Our students now live in a world full of stress and anxiety. This puts a strain on their mental health. We are beginning to recognise that our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Pieta House provides a safe and secure service for teens who are struggling with their mental health. Hence, we are delighted to raise funds and the profile of this wonderful service.&#8221;</p>
