Green Schools' Programme
In 2004 we were awarded our first Green Flag in recognition of our effort to "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" and since then Our Lady's has had very active Green Schools' Committees working hard to keep us aware of environmental issues. We celebrate Climate Action Week, Walk to School Week and much more! In March 2018 we achieved our seventh Green Flag! Very well done to all involved and long may the hard work continue!
Active School Flag Programme
Active School Flag (ASF) is a Department of Education and Skills initiative supported by Healthy Ireland. It is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school. In early 2018, we embarked on the ASF Programme and were very proud to be awarded our flag in May 2020. In terms of levels of physical activity, our school has been transformed through this process. 736 out of 3300 primary schools in Ireland have been awarded this flag and we are very proud to be one of them.
