Our very active Green School Committee were delighted that our school was selected by Carlow County Council for some very exciting workshops to be given by Eco-Unesco. We decided that rather than only committee members attending the workshops, that it would be better for full classes to avail of them. There were six possible workshops. These were: “Alternative Energy”, “Biodiversity and the Value of the Environment”, “Endangered Species”, “Food Waste and Water Security”, “The Sustainable Development Goals and Global Inequality” and “Zero Waste”.

Last week students from enjoyed a very interesting and thought provoking workshop on “Food Waste and Water Security”. This links very well with “Water” which is the current theme we are working on as part of our Green School Programme.
