We have received our 4th Green Flag in 2011. Our Green School Committe went to the Galway Bay Hotel to receive our green flag. We are a Travel School and our action plan is to encourage as many pupils as possible to walk, cycle, use public transport or car pool this year.  We will be learning about road safety and cycle safety.  Of course, we will continue all the other steps which make us a Green School like recycling and being energy aware.

For the parents of new students: All leftovers (like apple cores & banana peels) cannot be put in the bin. Ask your child to take them home in their lunchbox for your compost. Keep tidy. Clean up rubbish from the floor. Don't draw on the tables and chairs. Don't waste paper. Don't litter.

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 save energy. We walk and cycle to school.

For the school year 2011/2012 An Tàisce was promoting a Walk On Wednesday scheme.Pupils in all primary schools were being encouraged to walk to school, carpool, or cycle. As our school is in the city, many of our pupils did this everyday.
