Green School Inspection...did we pass?

The Green School Inspector visited our school on Wednesday 22.04.09. She met with the Coiste Glas, and asked them lots of questions about their Green School Mission! The good news is that we passed! We have been recommended to receive our very first Green Flag! We expect to receive official notification in early May, and expect to receive the actual flag before the end of May. Well done everyone!

UH OH!!!

Some undercover agents undertook a bin inspection on the staffroom bins on Thursday 26th March 2009. They were checking to see if the teachers had managed to put all the clean, dry paper and plastic in the recycling bin. We're afraid the news is not good.
Only 2 bins, but a lot of confusion.
The Coiste Glas will meet next week to discuss the matter. Teachers.....watch out!!

Anti Litter DVD arrives

We received an excellent anti-litter DVD from Dublin Corporation last week and all the classes are getting to watch it, in turn. We are working hard at maintaing a litter-free status, but it is not easy. For example, today, there is a large black plastic bag of rubbish which has been left on the school grounds. We are really disappointed that somebody would do this.
Spring Clean-Stay Green!!

Sin Bin???

Staffroom bins...January 2009

Not everyone is paying attention to which rubbish goes in which bin!

4.02.09

What a good day it is today because we are cleaning the whole school. The 2nd classes are running around picking up litter like obedient CHICKENS!! We just had lunch and in a while we are going litter picking. Right now the 6th classes are going litter picking. The 6th classes are cleaning the road to the church. Our class and the other 3rd class are cleanning up near the prefabs after the 6th classes are done. Hopefully they will be done soon!! By John and Dionne (3rd class), Good Bye!

Action Day 2009

Great News! Our very first Action Day is being held on Wednesday 4th February. On this day, all the classes in the school will be "Spring Cleaning", picking litter and making sure the whole school looks spic and span. The Coiste Glas will be taking photos of the big clean up on the day, so tune in next week to see how we got on!
