Green School

Fruit Break We have a fruit break in our school at about 10.00am - give your child a piece of fruit, peeled and easy to eat. Sweets that are "fruit-flavoured" (ie:Jellies, Apple Pie) are not allowed!

The Green School Committees Policies We don't litter, we pick it up. We take out the bins. We keep the school tidy.

For the school year 2009-2010, An Tàisce are promoting a Walk On Wednesday scheme.Pupils in all primary schools are being encouraged to walk to school, carpool, or cycle. As our school is in the city, many of our pupils do this everyday.
