Green-Schools is Ireland’s leading environmental management and education programme for schools.
Our school has successfully achieved recognition for the schools effort in improving litter and waste management, energy management, water consumption, travel and biodiversity.
We are currently working towards our 6th Flag – Global Citizenship; litter and waste. This theme encourages schools to discover how work on Green-Schools has positively influenced our global community.

Shared Reading Project
All first class children learnt about recycling and being global during our shared reading sessions. It prompted lots of questions and discussion among the children.
Our Green Code for Global Citizenship Litter and Waste
The First class students developed this beautiful code. They engaged in a brain storming session and developed a mindmap of words and phrases that came to mind when we talk of global citizenship. We used these ideas to develop the slogan which we felt reflected the essence of the theme.
First Class Global Citizenship Project
The first class children undertook a fantastic project desiging posters to represent their understanding of global citizenship and our green code. They came up with some fantsic ideas. Well done to all the children.

Bull Island Workshop
The first classes had a great workshop today with Mairead Stack from Heritage Ireland. She taught them all about the wonderful and interesting flora and fauna that can be found on Bull Island. We also discovered some interesting fact about the sea life around the island. The children had a chance to touch and smell seaweed and shells that can be found on the island.
