The groups returned to Pres Tralee with three sets of glass trophies, certificates and vouchers for €100.
Both groups have been extremely active in raising awareness of these issues in Tralee town and surrounding areas in recent months, have had massive media campaigns, fund-raising campaigns and a lot of poop-scooping so they definitely deserve their successes.
The young ladies and the school wished to thank everyone who supported their campaigns in recent months.
