The green schools programme is to make the school a more environmentally friendly place and to promote environmental awareness and care amongst all members of the school community.
When the school has implemented certain actions for environmental protection we can apply to be assessed by an Taisce, and if we have met their criteria, will be awarded a green flag.
At the moment we are working hard to achieve our first green flag which is for reducing litter and waste.

Committee
Our school has a green schools committee which has members from the students, staff and parents. We meet about once a fortnight, to review what we have done to date and to decide what steps we need to take in order to achieve our green flag status.
