GREEN SCHOOLS

The Green School programme is run by An Taisce to raise the awareness and care of the environment among school children and thereby the wider community.

This great venture we find ourselves on started way back in 2004 when we applied for our first Green Flag. We are now in the process of working towards our sixth!

The Green-Schools programme is based on seven steps. These steps are outlined in the chart below.

One of the key success factors of the Green-Schools programme is that it is a themed programme. That is, schools undertaking the programme work through the seven steps one theme at a time. The themes in sequence are:

1. Litter & Waste 
2. Energy
3. Water 
4. Travel (Walking) and Travel (Cycling)
5. Biodiversity

We are proud to have been awarded 5 Green Flags to date, and are currently working on the our sixth flag, on the theme of Global Citizenship.
