Welcome to our Green School Page for the school year.
2025-2026
Welcome to our new Green School Committee members.
As you know we earned our last Green School Award for Global Citizenship Energy. Thank you to all last year's hard working team.
This year
our new theme is:
Global Citizenship Marine Environment.
We have already started our work by taking part in a Beach Exploration Project on Monday 29th of September.
Committee members from Middle and Senior classes took part as spaces were limited to these.
We visited Seapoint Beach and learned that the ocean is home to unique biodiversity, provides valuable food and resources and is also a major carbon sink. As an island, Ireland’s climate, history and culture has been hugely affected by the ocean. Ireland’s maritime area is seven times the size of Ireland’s land mass. That’s a lot of ocean to protect, and that is exactly what we all need to do. Through our Green-Schools work, we hope to discover the importance the marine environment plays in all our lives and learn about ways we can help to protect it.
One major way we can help is to recycle our plastics and glass effectively and watch out for windy days when our bin litter can blow off. The plastics end up in our rivers to be brought to our sea. Oh no!
