There were celebrations today in Carnacaville when we were awarded the internationally recognised Green Flag Award by Eco-Schools NI. The eco-schools programme promotes sustainable living through whole-school action based learning.
We were visited by two Eco-schools Assessors who were shown around the school and grounds by the eco-committee. Our enthusiastic eco-committee members answered lots of questions and provided lots of information about our three topics; Energy, Biodiversity and Waste. The Assessors also called into classes to hear about all the projects we have been working on to improve our school and environment. Our two visitors were very impressed by the knowledge level of all the boys and girls in St Joseph's and said that we thoroughly deserved our award.
A sincere thank you from everyone in school to Mrs Brennan for leading and coordinating the Eco programme. She inspired the Eco Committee to push forward for the award and all their hard work has paid off.
