More than 40 students slept in school gym raising funds for homeless charity

Students endured a night class with a difference last night to help the homeless.

More than 40 students of a Cork secondary school spent the night sleeping on the floor of their school gym to raise funds for Cork Simon.

And, in an even greater test of their endurance, the teenagers also imposed a social media blackout for a full 12-hours as part of their ‘sleep-in for Simon’.
