Green Schools
We have a very hard working Green Schools committee here at Scoil Mhuire, who are dedicated and interested in working on ensuring our school is environmentally friendly- The committee consists of representatives from each of the various class levels.
Committee Members co-ordinated by Ms. Mc kiernan and Ms Masterson.
Since September 2018, we have been striving to attain our fourth Green Flag. The theme for this is Travel Awareness. All pupils and classes have been taking special measures to try and reduce the amount of traffic coming to and from school each day, by carpooling, park and stride, walking and cycling (where possible) and taking the bus. We have also been analysing Food Miles, and how many miles the food we eat daily has travelled to reach us. By trying to buy more locally and reducing traffic, we hope to reduce our carbon footprint, save more energy and see a reduction in fossil fuels being admitted into the atmosphere.
During our curriculum work for Travel Flag we organised a WOW - Walk on Wednesday- where, students and staff walked to school and ditched cars and even the school bus- One arrival to school, the children had some breakfast!
This was a really enjoyable morning.
Our hard working Committee has just submitted our application to achieve our Travel Flag.
