Eco committee 2022-23
A new Eco Committee has been formed. It is made up of a representative from all classes from 3rd to 6th. We are extremely proud of these children who have volunteered to help make a difference in our school. A lot of work has been done in the past to achieve our first two flags. Click here to see pictures and read more about our Waste and Energy flags.
We are now working towards our third green flag as a school.

Examples of pledges:
"I pledge to turn off the lights whenever I leave a room"
"I pledge to walk or cycle to school whenever I can"
"I pledge to use less plastic"
"I pledge to turn off the tap when I brush my teeth"
Your Eco Committee rep will have a leaf for you to make your pledge. All pledges will be collected to be displayed on the Eco Committee notice board. Please write your pledge in a dark colour and then lightly colour your leaf around the writing so your pledge can be seen. Write your name on the back. Return the leaves to your Eco Rep.

Bike week 2022

Let's get scooting and cycling for Bike Week 2022! The Eco Committee have been busy making posters to promote this initiative by Green Schools Ireland. Cycling or scooting to school is a great way to help the environment and stay fit. |

Well done to all the classes on colecting a whopping 44 boxes of batteries!
In first place, collecting the most batteries was room 18, in 2nd place was room 15 and in 3rd place was Ash Room. Thanks to all the teachers, parents and students for their support and enthusiasm!
