September 2022

Our new committee met for the first time on Friday to discuss our plans for the next two years. We start working towards a new flag for Global Citizenship: Biodiversity.

We reminded all classes of what they can do in their classrooms regarding litter and waste, saving energy and water, taking care of our marine environment and travel.

This week is Walk to School Week so we launched a campaign to encourage our school community to follow last year's Green Code: Get out of the car it's not that far!!!

Well done to the whole school and especially the Green Schools Committee who were successful in obtaining our 5th Green Flag for Travel!! Well done everyone. Thank you also to Lord Mayor Caroline Conroy who visted the school in September and raised our Green Flag!
