Preparation for our GreenSchools Day of Action
In preparation for our Green Schools Day of Action, we designed posters

advertising our Spring Clean to display around the school and local area.

We also drew a map of the local area  and designated areas to be

cleaned to each class group (i.e. infants- front of school; first and second

class- green area at back of the school; third and fourth class- church

grounds and car park; fifth and sixth class- the village green and

surrounding area). We created a display advertising our Day of Action in

the Parish Hall on the day of the fundraising walk for our school on the

weekend before the clean up. We surveyed members of the local

community and shared tips for recycling. We invited the Parents’

Association committee to take part in the Spring Clean.

Here are some of the posters we designed:

Green Schools Poster/Slogan Competition

The month February saw our students putting their artistic and creative

skills to the test as they set about designing posters and slogans to

highlight our Green Schools th​eme of Litter and Waste.

After much deliberation a winner was chosen from each class and their

efforts are proudly displayed on our Green Schools notice board.

However such was the quality of all entries that many more posters and

slogans are on display around our school reminding us to ‘Keep it

Green, Keep it Clean’, ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ and ‘Slam Dunk the

​Junk’.

Green Schools Poster/Slogan Competition


Our Green Schools Committee, with the help of their classmates have

been working hard to carry out our Environmental Review over the last

few months. This has involved carrying out various surveys and audits. It

was time to roll their sleeves us as they surveyed the waste going into

our bins, carried out surveys of lunchboxes, surveyed litter around our

school and weighed the waste going into our wheelie bins.

The results have been tallied and graphed and make for some interesting

reading!

These results have helped form our Action Plan which will be published at

​the end of the year.

​Welcome t
o our Green Schools Blog

​


We are currently participating in An Taisce's Green Schools

Programme. We are working towards attaining our first Green Flag for our

school based on the theme of Litter and Waste.

The Green-Schools Programme provides an ideal way for fostering

environmental awareness in the entire school in a way that links to many

curriculum subjects. The Green-Schools initiative is pupil led with

representatives from each class forming a Green Schools Committee. 

The Green Schools Programme is based on a 7 step approach over the

course of 2 years.

We officially launched the Green Schools Programme in our school on

National Tree Day in October 2015. 
We received a Hazel tree from the

National Tree Council of Ireland and the whole school participated in our

tree planting ceremony.
