Green Schools' Flag

In recent weeks, Mary Stack  from An Taisce, visited to assess

the school for its first Green Flag. She spoke at length with Ms.

O’Sullivan and the Green School Committee and looked at their

folder, which documents all the work done over the past year

and a half. She visited all the classes to speak with the children.

She was most impressed with the work of the committee and all

the children in the school and gave very complimentary

feedback. She has recommended that the school get its first

Green Flag which will be awarded at a ceremony in Cork in May.

Well done to Ms. O’Sullivan and Ms. Higgins who led this

initiative and worked so hard with the children. Well done to the

Green School Committee and all the children in the school who

worked together with such commitment to achieve this flag. We

will have a flag raising day in June for to celebrate this

wonderful achievement. Work is already underway on the

second Green Flag which is awarded for reducing energy

consumption in the school.

​Keep an eye on the Green School's Page (School Initiatives) for

updates on their progress.
