KCC raises €350 for Kerry Cancer Support Group

Published

on

Last week, Killarney Community College proudly raised €350 for the Kerry Cancer Support Group as part of the school’s Ethos Week celebrations, an annual event that shines a light on the values of care, respect, equality, community, and excellence in education.

The highlight of the week was the heartwarming ‘Square to Share’ initiative, where students and staff joined forces to crochet four-inch squares. These handmade pieces, each stitched with love and purpose, will come together as part of a larger project in support of the Kerry Cancer Support Group - a charity that provides essential services for those undergoing cancer treatment throughout the county.

The sense of community didn’t stop at the crochet hooks. A staff coffee morning was held to support the ongoing efforts of those creating the squares and raising funds.

Principal Stella Loughnane and staff praised the collaborative spirit displayed during Ethos Week, noting how the initiative reflected the college’s values. "It's wonderful to see our school community come together like this, not just to raise funds, but to show genuine care and solidarity with those in need," added Michelle O Mahony, teacher organiser.
