GREEN SCHOOLS

The Green School programme is run by An Taisce to raise the awareness and care of the environment among school children and thereby the wider community.

This great venture started way back in 2004 and was the brainchild of Mr Kevin Duffy, currently Principal of Scoil Bhríde, Edenderry, but then a teacher in our school.

The Green-Schools programme is based on seven steps. These steps are outlined in the chart below.

One of the key success factors of the Green-Schools programme is that it is a themed programme. That is, schools undertaking the programme work through the seven steps one theme at a time. The themes in sequence are:

1. Litter & Waste 
2. Energy
3. Water 
4. Travel (Walking) and Travel (Cycling)
5. Biodiversity

We are proud to have been awarded 4 Green Flags to date, and are currently working on the our fifth flag, on the theme of Biodiversity.
