A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Darkness into Light event in aid of Pieta House this weekend. Our GoFundMe page is still active on www.gofundme.com/f/DILPRESCARLOW until Thursday evening. We are delighted to say that €1,685 has been raised for Pieta House by our school.

We have put together a short video of the images sent in from staff and students to mark our school community's response. It's a lovely reflection of the event. If anyone has photos they haven't had a chance to send please do and we can add them in. Click on this link to view our video. DIL_Pres_College_Carlow.mp4 

 

It is moments like these that draw our school together and made even more poignant by the circumstances.
