What is the Blue Star Programme?
The Blue Star Programme is an education initiative for primary school pupils across Ireland. The idea of the Programme is simple: to foster better understanding and knowledge of the European Union and how it affects the lives of Irish citizens among primary pupils through classroom projects and activities.
Here in St. Patrick’s School Ballinamuck N.S., students were challenged to get creative and think about Europe by carrying out projects in relation to four key elements: the history, geography, culture and creativity, and Institutions of the EU.
We have achieved our first Blue Star Flag in May 2023.
Pupils and teachers throughout the school worked very hard to achieve all four elements of our Blue Star Flag.
