We were delighted to receive our first Green Flag for our work on reducing Litter and Waste in our school.
The Green Schools Programme is an international scheme to encourage and promote eco-friendly actions in schools. It raises awareness of environmental issues in classrooms and across the school community and encourages children to take the lead in reviewing existing practices, deciding a plan for change, implementing a new plan and checking its progress.
We have a Green Schools team made up of children from each class. They meet regularly.
We received our first Green flag for ‘Litter and Waste’ from An Taisce at a special awards ceremony in the Helix. We are so proud!
