Killarney

By Michelle Crean
<h3>Students and staff shocked with the events unfolding in Ukraine have collected and sorted goods to donate to those displaced as a result.</h3>
The group of Transition Years and their teachers from St Brigid&#8217;s Presentation Killarney felt huge compassion to help and wanted to support the &lsquo;Collection for Ukraine&rsquo;.
&#8220;This has been a Transition Year lead action all week, from students creating posters and announcements to make the school community aware donations were being accepted,&#8221; teacher Ms Quilter said.
Once received the students set about sorting, separating, packing the donations and then loading them into the collection van.
&#8220;Watching and listening to the news can make us all feel helpless but it&rsquo;s important to remember we can all play a part through small individual actions which collectively has the power to make a big difference. Thank you to all students, staff and management for their support, the response has been incredibly generous.&#8221;
Special mention to students Abbie C O&rsquo;Sullivan,&nbsp;Keira Geaney, Alice Boyle O&rsquo;Sullivan, Abbie Leslie, Grace Smith, Shannon McCarthy and Maeve O&rsquo;Connor for taking on extra responsibilities, and staff members Ms Gilligan, Ms R O&rsquo; Sullivan, Ms Payne and Mr Fleming also, she added.
