Our Green Schools Committee carried out their first task for the Travel theme this week when they did a walkability audit with Edwina Coman, Green Schools Travel Education Officer with An Taisce on the approach roads to the school. This was to find out how safe our routes to school are for walking or cycling and to help us think about ways they can be improved. Well done committee members!

October/November 2025:
Our school took part in Walk on Wednesdays and Active travel week, encouraging parents and children to park and stride from locations near our school. The entire school community got involved and it was great to see so many happy faces arriving to school after a lovely walk with their families and friends.
We are still fundraising for the school using the ReTurn scheme and doing our bit for the environment too. Anyone from the school community or locality can donate their bottles and cans into our deposit bins.
