TWO cheques were presented recently to worthy causes thanks to the actions of students at Mercy Mounthawk Secondary School.
Yesterday, TY Active Leisure presented a cheque for €1358.30 for Kerry Cancer Support Bus after they ran a First Year Olympics, 2nd Year Basketball blitz, First year girls football blitz and a staff versus students basketball match.
Last week, the ‘I am what I am’ Young Social Innovators group at the school presented a cheque for €644 to John Drummey of the Kerry Mental Health Association after they held a fundraiser involving baking and selling cookies.
The students project is about body image, fast fashion, the pressures on young people to look and dress a certain way and the impact of all of this on their mental health.
