GREEN SCHOOLS

This year we are going for our fourth green flag and the theme is ‘Travel’.

On the 9^th of November 2010 our Green Schools Committee consisting of pupils from 1^st class to 6^th class carried out a ‘Walk Ability Audit’ with Graham Clarke a very helpful Green School representative. Ms. Cooney and Ms. Kelleher accompanied us on the walk.  Mrs. Browne and Mrs. Gohery are also on the committee.

The Committee received between 45 - 55 High Visibility Jackets for the school thankfully given to us by Graham. As we walked down the road in our visibility jackets we discovered that there are many problems on our road that we wish to fix in the next couple of months before we can have a walk to school day.

The committee meets weekly to discuss and solve problems and plan our first MOM (March On Monday) day. The committee members are Ornagh and Ross (6^th class), Shane and Loran (5^th Class), Hannah and Daniel (4^th class), Catherine and Conal (3^rd class), Mathew and Alice (2^nd class) and Adam and Isabelle (1^st class).
