TY students having a great time in Folgaria, Italy on their recent ski trip with Mr Kelly, Ms Keogan, Mrs O’Sullivan, Ms Ryan and Ms Burke.

Green school's Water Ambassadors Lucy Rogers, Fiona Xu, Rachel Morrissey and Maria Lillis are doing the Irish Spongy Schools project. The Spongy Schools project is run by the Global programme which investigates ways to improve climate change resilience. The students are looking into ways of being more sustainable with water and rain use in our school and community. They are also looking at flood prevention measures.

Yesterday they presented their Spongy Schools project online to other schools in Ireland, climate experts, and Dublin City Council. They were highly commended for their work. 

Well done girls, we are all looking forward to new ideas to make our school more sustainable.
