We have been awarded Regional and National winner of the Global Citizenship Energy Award! Congratulations to the Green-Schools Committee and to Ms. Murray for all the hard work.  For the last two years all classes have been involved in lots of project work including litter picking, creative art, the 'Take 5 to Unsubscribe' campaign, letter writing to local councilors. We attended the award ceremony in Kilkenny and Cara and Lucy were presented with the awards. A special thanks to our former colleague Mrs. Galvin and all the teachers involved in the project.
