Well done to the Green Schools Committee who took part in the National Spring Clean last Friday. Our committee worked very hard to clean up our community. We cleaned up our school yard, the road down to the church and the church grounds. The weather was fantastic and we all had a fantastic day. 

We are loving our energy workshops by SEAI in our school today. 
​We are learning so much about saving energy and about renewable sources of energy. 

Each class teacher chose four pupils to be on the Green schools committee. 
There are 4 pupils from every class on the committee, excluding Junior & Senior Infants. Meetings are held every Thursday at 1pm in Ms. Gaughan's room .At the meetings we discuss important information to do with our energy theme and report back to our classes on the school's progress. It is lots of fun. We like being on the committee because we get to represent our class and school.

We hope to make everyone aware of how much energy we use. We need to stop wasting energy in school and at home. 
Ms.Gaughan & Ms.Corcoran are our Green schools coordinators. We will be working very hard this year to make sure we earn our 2nd Green Flag in May 2016. There are lots of activities planned for the year ahead which include: in-school workshops, daytrip to local windfarm, project work in the senior classes, poster competitions and many more. Our Green Schools committee are as enthusiastic as ever and we hope to do a good job!

As part of our application process we had a day in school where we did not use any electricity /power. This year we are aiming for our 2nd Green Flag and the theme is energy.

6th class made space buggies from recycled materials as part of the Energy Day. They had to made the buggy move with different forms of energy. Our Green Schools Committee has been established for this school year. Ms Corcoran and Ms Gaughan are the green schools coordinators for Durrow National School.
