Our school is part of the Green-schools programme. The aim of the programme is to make environmental awareness and action part of the life and ethos of the school. We have 7 green flags already for :
1. Litter and waste (pick-up litter, cut down on single use plastic, recycle)
2. Energy (close doors and turn off lights- energy saver in classes)
3. Water (turn of the tap while brushing your teeth)
4. Travel (walk or cycle to school if it’s safe for you to do so)
5. Biodiversity (plant bulbs and seeds)
6. Global citizenship litter and waste
7. Global citizenship and energy
We are working towards getting our 8th green flag for Global citizenship and marine environment. There are several steps for our school to follow before we get the flag and we will spend two years working on this theme.
Check out the greenschoolsireland.org website for lots of interesting information on this theme and all the other themes too.
Our green schools committee members for 2018/2019 are as follows: Emma, Kacey, Paris, Bethany, Rihanna, Georgina, Tyra and Moesha.
We will have regular meetings on Wednesdays in Ms.Power’s classroom. The committee aims to direct and address the green-schools programme. We have to conduct an environmental review, write up an action plan, monitor progress, see how our work links to the curriculum, inform classes of any great work done and write a green code! There is a lot to be done!
