Green Schools Programme

Green Schools is an environmental education programme that promotes sustainable practices in schools.  It is a student led programme with involvement from the wider community.  Green-Schools’ mission is to protect planet Earth – our shared home to which we all belong.

Scoil Naomh Mhuire is dedicated to promoting the Green Schools programme run by An Taisce. So far we have been awarded 5 Green Flags:

1. Litter and Waste

2. Energy

3. Water

4. Travel

5. Biodiversity

By participating in the Green Schools Initiative, the pupils not only contribute positively to their immediate environment but also instil lifelong values of sustainability in students. This initiative fosters a culture of respect for nature and encourages proactive engagement with global environmental challenges.

Over the next two years we are aiming to achieve our 6th Green Flag- Global Citizenship (Litter and Waste).
