Green Schools is an international environmental education programme that promotes long-term whole school action for the environment. The aim of Green Schools is to increase students’ awareness of environmental issues and to transfer this knowledge into positive environmental action in the school and also in the wider environment.
Scoil Mhuire is a committed participant in the Green Schools programme and currently holds five Green Flags.
In the current school year we are working on our sixth theme of Global Citizenship: Litter & Waste, as well as maintaining and further improving our achievements of the previous themes of litter & waste, energy, water, travel and Biodiversity. The Green Schools committee is open to all students who are committed and concerned about their environment.
During our Travel theme we created the Oak leaf Castle view Walkway. This year, we won the Green Schools Biodiversity Secondary School of the Year in all of Ireland, We also took part in the International Communities in Bloom Competition with Trim Tidy Towns.
