The Green Schools Committee are very excited as we have just received news that our application for our third green flag has been successful.
The Green Schools Committee have been working hard all year on the Water Flag and our hard work has paid off. The Green Flag will be presented to our school by An Taisce on Thursday 22nd May at The Helix, DCU Campus. Ms Quinn, Ms Costello and two of the committee members will be attending the presentation. Check out our Green School Committee representatives receiving our Water Flag at the Green Schools Presentation. Congratulations everybody on a job well done!! |

Green Schools Committee
|
Our School has been awarded two green flags already. Our first flag was awarded for our efforts in Litter and Waste and our second flag was awarded for work towards saving Energy. We are currently working on our third green schools flag which is for the theme of Water.
Meet our committee! The committee all wear their “Green School sheriffs” badges when they are on duty in the school. The committee is made up of one boy and one girl from each stream. Committee were all interviewed by Miss Quinn before earning their place on our Green Schools team. |

Our first job was to do an environmental review. We counted all the taps and toilets in the school to see where water is used in the school. We then devised our Action Plan. We meet together twice a month at lunchtime and regularly at break times. We discuss our Action Plan and all the ideas we have to help save water in the school. You can see our Action Plan here.

The committee are on duty daily checking every classroom to see if Green Schools posters and the Green Schools code is displayed for all pupils to see.
