December 2010
Having been put back due to weather conditions, we finally got to raise our Green Home Flag on Dec.16. We were pleased to welcome deputy Lord Mayor and former member of our Green Team, Councillor Edie Wynne, to do the honours. Members of our Board of Management and Parents’ Association were also present as well as Dorothy Stewart, Greenhome Manager from Greenschools.

Mr.
Hume praised the Environmental Education Unit of An Taisce for this Green
Schools initiative which for the last 13 years has successfully promoted
sustainability in Irish Schools. He also commended
teachers and their pupils for the enthusiasm they have shown in
‘greening’ our schools. Over 85%
of Irish schools are now involved in An Taisce’s Green Flag initiative. On
behalf of the Green Team I would like to thank you, the parents, for the effort
put in throughout the Green Home campaign.
Our
next theme will be Biodiversity but
let’s celebrate this year’s achievement first.
Wishing you all a Happy and a Green Christmas. And boys, remember to recycle all those Christmas cards and wrapping paper!!
