Students goodwill and generosity - which saw them raise almost €1,000 - will positively change the way some local families celebrate Christmas next week.

As it is the time of year for goodwill and generosity the Transition Year students from Killarney Community College called on the help of fellow students, their families and staff in the school to donate so that those in need can have a happy Christmas.

Arranging two fundraisers brought in the massive amount of funding which will now be used to make up food hampers for local families experiencing financial hardship.

On December 3, the Transition Year students raised an amazing €552 by hosting a bake sale in the school.

On December 9, not letting Storm Barra get in the way of selling tickets, the Transition Years also held a fantastic raffle. Another €416 was raised for the Killarney Lions Club. There were 11 hampers raffled, put together by teachers and students.

"This money will help the club create food hampers for families in need here in the Killarney area this Christmas," Teacher Lorraine Crowley, who organised the appeal said.

"Food boxes were also donated as part of the appeal."

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
