Greenschool October News

Now in the Greenschool programme we turn our attention towards the theme of Travel. In line with previous themes we are striving towards reducing our carbon footprint, protecting our environment while at the same time promoting our own health and well being.

Our goals are to

  • Raise awareness for the children and the wider community by promoting active travel to schools
  • Encourage parents, children and the school community to walk to and from school, car pool, use public transport if possible or park and stride
  • To raise awareness of the travel theme at home. We travel in a green way when we decide to walk to the local shop instead of taking the car, take the stairs instead of the lift or escalator when out and about.

It goes without saying that there are many health benefits by travelling in a green way for each individual and the whole community.

A very big thank you to Sorcha Brophy from An Taisce who visited us on 29/9/16. The children in first class and senior infants excelled as usual with a natural enthusiasm as Sorcha compiled our very first travel survey. Well done to all the participating classes. I am sure we will see lots of Sorcha in the future.
