Global Citizenship schools
On the 31st May, four children from Mrs Galvin's first class went to the Mansion House with Mrs Ryan to listen to President Michael D.Higgins, speak to 100 guests from all over Ireland about the importance of being a good global citizen. Dylan Carroll, Emily Pesak, Jykkah Awing and Lewis White told all the guests that "If we all co-operate, the world will be a better place for me and you and everybody". What a wonderful message, we are all so proud of these four children and all of the pupils in Clonburris who do so much to "be the change in the world".
We are hoping to get our Global Citizenship School sign before the end of June. We are working hard on growing our own vegetables and fruit, making our environment a better place and doing all we can to be better global citizens.

At Clonburris we are trying to be good global citizens. Listen to what Mrs Galvin`s First Class have to say about it!
