After two years of hard work, the school was presented with its first green flag on Tuesday the 21st of May at a ceremony in Croke Park. Three members of An Coiste Glas, Emma Nic Gabhann (R6), Tadhg Ó Ruairc (R6) & Páraic Mac Lochlainn (R5) were present to collect the flag. The flag was presented for the work done in the school in the area of ‘Litter and Waste’. The school has significantly decreased the volume of rubbish it sends to landfill through increased recycling and composting. The motto composed by the Coiste Glas is “Úsáid arís bí ar bís!” (Reuse and be happy!). We hope the good habits learnt at school are also being implemented at home! The Green Flag was officially raised in the front clós of the school at 11:45am on Thursday 23rd of May. The well known biologist, nature expert and regular contributor to the Mooney Show Éanna Ní Lamhna was in attendance to raise the flag. Éanna Ní Lamhna visited the senior infant and first class classrooms to talk about nature and the environment before joining the rest of the school in the hall for a short ‘Green Flag’ ceremony. R5 & R6 started the proceedings with two beautiful and fitting songs ‘Colours of the Wind’ and ‘Coiméad Taobh na Coille Glan’ to be followed by the ‘Grúpa Ceoil’ who played a few tunes for us. An Múinteoir Chambers spoke about the work carried out by the Coiste Glas over the previous year and he thanked the members of the Coiste Glas for all their hard work. Éanna Ní Lamhna then took to the stage and spoke briefly about protecting the environment before going outside to raise the Green Flag. We were all delighted to see our Green Flag billowing in the wind next to our National Flag and our School Flag.

Tar éis obair chrua An Coiste Glas le dhá bhliain anuas, bronnadh an chéad brat ghlas ar an scoil ag ócáid mhór i bPáirc an Chrócaigh ar an Mháirt an 22 Bealtaine 2013. B’iad Emma Nic Gabhann(R6), Tadhg Ó Ruairc (R6) & Páraic Mac Lochlainn (R5) na baill ón gcoiste a bhailigh an brat ar son na scoile. Is é téama an chéad bhrat ná ‘bruascar’ agus ‘sé an manna a chum an Coiste Glas ná “Úsáid Arís, Bí ar Bís”. Tá sár-obair déanta ag páistí uile na scoile agus mar thoradh ar an obair seo tá méadú ollmhór déanta ar an méid athchúrsála agus athúsáide atá á dhéanamh ag an scoil. Tá súil againn go bhfuil na dea-nósanna seo á leanúint sa bhaile freisin! Ardaíodh an bhrat go h-oifigiúil i gclós na scoile ag a 11:45am ar an Déardaoin an 23/5/2013. B’í an bitheolaí agus saineolaí dúlra mór le rá, Éanna Ní Lamhna a d’ardaigh an bhrat ar an lá. Chuaigh sí isteach chun cainte le ranganna na naíonaíon shinsearacha agus an dá Rang a 1 faoi chúrsaí dúlra agus athchúrsála sular bhailíomar ar fad le cheile i halla na scoile le searmanas beag a bheith againn sular ardaíodh an Bhrat Glais os comhair na scoile amach. Chan daltaí R5 & R6 dhá amhrán dúinn ar dtús, ‘Colours of the Wind’ & ‘Coiméad Taobh na Coille Glan’ agus lean an grúpa ceoil iad le cúpla fonn. Labhair an Múinteoir Chambers faoin obair a rinne an Coiste Glas i rith na bliana agus ghabh sé buíochas leo as an obair ar fad a rinne siad. Labhair Éanna Ní Lamhna ar feadh tamaillín ansin sula ndeachamar amach leis an Bhrat a ardú don chéad uair. Is orainn a bhí an ríméad nuair a seoladh an Bhrat suas go barr an chuaille agus í ag séideadh sa ghaoth taobh le Brat na hÉireann agus Brat na Scoile.
