National Spring Clean

Apr 06 2019

On Friday 5 April, students and staff from Presentation College got involved in the National Spring Clean initiative. A group of Transition Year students began the day well and enjoyed the nice weather while doing some litter picking. After school, an enthusiastic group of staff and teachers tackled the litter on the perimeter of the school along the N80. As can be seen in the photo, quite a bit of litter was collected in under an hour. We were delighted to wear the Neat Streets and National Spring Clean vests to raise awareness of the initiative at the beginning of the month. Students who stayed in after school for the N80 litterpick were: Josh Brealy, Keelan Doyle, Alex Hickey, Michael Keane, Emily Jane Kendellon, Claudia Lopez, Lily Mulcahy Ralph, Shauna Murphy Woods and the Green School Secretary – Darragh Nolan. Staff and students were encouraged by the many drivers and pedestrians passing by. We removed broken bottles, drink cans, wrappers, a bicycle seat and all sorts of plastic. On a happier note, we spotted several birds’ nests and plenty of evidence of spring around the corner. The Green Schools committee are looking forward to our raffle next week and the holidays and would like to invite any students interested in joining, to join our group on Schoolwise, to speak to one of the teachers involved or to come along to a meeting. The next meeting will be Wednesday 8 May.
