Green Schools

Green School Committee 2025/26

We are delighted to introduce our enthusiastic new Green Schools Committee, composed of dedicated pupils and staff who are eager to drive positive change. This year, our focus is sharper than ever on reducing our waste and cutting down on energy wastage across the school.

• We recently had a highly informative visit from a member of SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland), who explained all about energy and conservation to our pupils.

• WEE Recycling:

To promote responsible disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment, we encourage pupils and staff to make use of our WEE battery recycling bins (the blue boxes) located near the front door.

Exciting Projects Underway:

• Repair, Don't Replace: Mrs. O'Flynn is currently leading an exciting new initiative focused on repairing items rather than simply throwing them away. This project aims to teach valuable skills and promote a circular economy mindset. Watch this space for upcoming news and workshops!

• Biodiversity Garden Area: Mrs. Vaughan is busy transforming an area of our school grounds into a vibrant Bio-Diversity Garden. This space will serve as an outdoor classroom, teaching pupils about native plants, insects, and wildlife. We are focusing on creating a habitat that supports local pollinators by planting native wildflowers and building insect hotels. This garden will allow our pupils to engage directly with nature and understand the importance of biodiversity in our local ecosystem.

We have worked so hard to achieve our Green Flag award! Please continue to help us maintain our high standards of green awareness and contribute to a healthier environment for all.
