Our Green Schools committee was awarded the Global Citizenship Litter and Waste Green Flag as a result of their hard work over the past two years keeping our school clean. Represented by Fifth Year students Clodagh and Sophie, and accompanied by their teachers Ms Dempsey and Ms Fitzgibbon, the committee was presented with the new flag at a fantastic awards ceremony in Hotel Kilkenny where they got to meet different Green Schools committees as well as the An Taisce Green Schools regional leaders and environmental officers. Well done to all Green School members!
