Bunscoil Rís pupils have risen to the occasion of a Pieta fundraiser, by making lots of dough for the charity.
This year the pupils and teachers established an Amber Flag committee and are working towards achieving their first flag.
“The committee aims to promote wellbeing and mental health awareness in the school through various wellbeing initiatives and an awareness day,” said teacher Aoife Deevy.
