THE IT Tralee St Vincent de Paul Society presented the fruits of their fundraising activities over the past number of months to the Society’s Education Fund.
Junior Locke, President of the Tralee Area Conference, accepted a cheque for €2,000 after the ITT society held a fashion show in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel back in November.
“We also had other fundraising events which added to the total,” said Ruairí Fry of the ITT SVP Society. “The fund is vital for some students who don’t qualify for SUSI or the Student Assistance Fund,” said Ruairí, who is off representing Ireland in the International St Vincent de Paul Council Conference in Madrid on June 15.

All of the clothes modelled are from the SVP Shops in Tralee and will be going on sale on the night. There will be a raffle at the interval and tickets for the show cost only €5.
“Our motto is ‘students supporting students’ and we work hard to achieve this by holding a range of fundraising events each year,” said welfare officer Niamh Blackburn. “Our society has multiple awards funds used to assist our fellow students with their financial struggles in the form of food vouchers, food hampers and scholarships.
Our annual fashion show has grown from strength to strength over the past three years and we will keep growing this success for the benefit of our students here in IT Tralee.”
So put the date in your diary for a fun event on November 23 in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel.
.Students do battle during the ‘Throw Out The Blues’ event.
STUDENTS at IT Tralee held an unusual event at the college last week to highlight the importance of mental health issues.
Organised by the I.T.Tralee SVP Society “Throw out the Blues” was a colour-run type event where they pelted the bejaysus out of each other with paint balls, all as part of Mental Health Awareness Day at the college.
It was held last Tuesday in association with Jigsaw Kerry, Recovery Haven Kerry, Aware Kerry who were on campus for the day providing information on the services they offer.

.
There were two teams against each other, mimicking the battle that people with mental health issues go through daily. The event was open to all students and was free charge to show students how important it is to maintain positive mental health.
This time of year can be very stressful for students, and by providing the opportunity to engage in a fun event on campus it helps the students to de-stress and enjoy campus life. See a video of the action and photos below…
