John the Baptist Community School’s inaugural sleep-out will raise awareness and funds for four charities - Novas, ISPCC, Jigsaw and IMNDA.
Students must raise a minimum of €100 per sponsorship card.
They will earn every cent as Met Eireann forecasts a mix of cloud and clear spells with scattered showers and the possibility of heavy rain, as well as a chance of hail and thunder.
There is a possibility of longer spells of rain in the west and early on in the night with lowest temperatures of 0 to 5 degrees.
