Our Green Committee

Green Flag

We are proud to announce that we have just been awarded our second Green Flag!
This flag is awarded for effort in trying to conserve energy. As well as making sure that we save energy by turning off lights and switches, and closing doors to keep the heat in, we also decided to save energy by walking a bit more than we have been doing.

The Green School Committee invited everyone to be part of the WOW gang. That stands for Walk Once A Week and it is open to anyone who promises to walk to one place every week where they would normally go in the car. In the hall we have put up a large tree and those who walk put a leaf on the tree. The tree is almost covered in leaves! For our third flag we are going to look at the precious gift of water and see where it comes from and how we can look after it and ensure there is enough for everyone. Watch this space !!

Healthy Lunch Policy

In our school we try to eat healthy lunches. For first break we have fruit and for our lunch we avoid sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks. Each Friday we can bring a treat in our lunch box.

Our Green Codes and Rules

National Tree Week

The grounds of our school campus are full of many beautiful trees, some of them over 250 years old. We love our trees, because not only do they provide a home for all the birds and animals in the grounds, but they also clean our air and make it very sweet. This year, India's Dad presented us with two beautiful trees - a Silver Birch and a Mountain Ash - on behalf of South Dublin County Council, and the whole school enjoyed planting the trees. Fourth Class made some beautiful music in the woods to welcome the trees to their new home.
