The Green-Schools Committee this year is made up of pupils from St. Peter’s and St. Patrick’s Classes. They are a fantastic, enthusiastic group who have been hard at work learning about recycling and are taking it in turns to collect the classroom bins each day. We are hoping to organise a talk from Repak Ireland soon about sorting our rubbish correctly. We are also a school who recycles batteries, if anyone has any used ones at home feel free to bring them in.

 

The Green-Schools Committee have begun working towards St. Michael’s fourth Green Flag – Biodiversity. So far they have been busy defining what exactly ‘biodiversity’ is, a vast topic that covers the variety of life on our planet. There is so much to learn! 

​

Our aim for the next two years will be to increase awareness in our school about how important biodiversity is for human health and well-being, what it means for plants, animals, eco-systems and how it affects or planet. 

​

We have a few tasks up our sleeves that aim to promote biodiversity in our school, starting with a bulb planting project that will be revealed in March next year! Watch this space.....
