At the an Taisce Green-Schools Award ceremony on Wednesday 17th May, Mr Daly, Ms Cahalane and student members of our Green-Schools Committee received our first Green-Schools Flag.
This flag reflects the tremendous effort of all the members of our Green-Schools committee.
It is also an acknowledgement of how all of our staff and students worked together to ensure our school and our local environment is a better place to be in.
We held an Action day on 13th October. Our “No Single Use Plastics Day” allowed us to shine a light on the amount of single use plastics that are used in our school community. We also carried out a waste audit in February.
Our committee meets every month to monitor the progress of our action plan which includes
- Segregation of waste in staff room
- Green-Schools Curriculum links
- Communication with Staff, students and parents
- CSN and Neat Streets
- CSN Green Code ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’
There are posters on display throughout the school to remind staff and students to reduce/reuse/recycle.
Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh has achieved a 28% reduction in material going to landfill following the introduction of long-term waste management initiatives.
Well done everyone!
