Pupils from Year 12 St Mary’s High school prepare for foodbank project.[/caption]
Girls from Year 12 at St Mary’s High School in Downpatrick with their teacher, Mr Cahal Murphy and Lynsey Lloyd from the Youth Service took part in a project as part of their ONC qualification in Learning to Live Together.
Shirley Lennon, the Volunteer Coordinator visited the school to explain how Fountain Foodbank operated.
In response, the girls arranged for collections to take place among their fellow pupils. Then sorted, checked and packed over 15 food parcels of varying sizes for distribution by the Foodbank. Their enthusiasm and dedication to the project was excellent. It is great to see a curriculum project like this benefitting the school and local community.
