The Green-Schools Programme is a long-term and continuous environmental awareness programme that promotes the importance of looking after and protecting our Environment. The children learn that each individual has the obligation to conserve, improve and respect our environment and this in turn leads to a heightened sense of pride in a community.

St. Patrick’s National School is a Green-School. Our School has been involved in the Green Schools Programme since 2006. We are very proud to have earned six individual Green Flags to date, for our work in the following areas:

  1. Litter and Waste – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (2009)
  2. Energy – Conserving Energy (2011)
  3. Water -Water Conservation (2013)
  4. Travel – Promoting sustainable Transport Modes (2015)
  5. Biodiversity – Promoting the importance of plants, animals and habitats (2017)
  6. Global Citizenship Litter and Waste – Benefits of reducing waste on the wider community (2019)
  7. Global Citizenship – Energy

We are now working on a new theme Global Citizenship – Marine Environment
