On Friday last we celebrated raising our Fifth Green Flag. We started the journey almost two years ago when we first applied for our Green Flag for Biodiversity.

Friday’s performance was a culmination and re-enactment of those two years of work which was brilliantly put together by the supremely talented Margaret Niland! We had flowers growing, bees collecting pollen and even bears coming to collect honey! We had a lesson on Biodiversity and a trip to the bog all in under an hour! The children were outstanding and it couldn’t have been done without Margaret’s talent and dedication.
Mrs. Delaney and Paddy Reilly our school caretaker raised our 5th Green Flag. Mrs. Delaney’s hard work and diligence to the Green School’s Project is amazing and we are delighted to see her work being so highly praised and recognised. Paddy our caretaker works so hard behind the scenes leaving the school looking so well, we were all delighted to say a special word of thanks to him.

Following the raising of the flag we had refreshments in the school. A big thank you to all who provided goodies and helped out especially our Parents Association and all who baked and helped with the lovely treats we were served in the school hall. Also a special word of thanks to Joe Lowther who organised sound on the morning.

Well done as always to all our students with their Green School’s project work and Friday’s performance. We are very proud of you all!
