Our Incredible Edible Healthy Eating Project is well underway here in St Mary's NS Partry. The children are learning all about where our food comes from and how we can grow our own fruit and vegetables here in our school.  This project has been launched by Agri Aware in conjunction with Board Bia.  We hope to grow, cook and eat all the fruits and vegetables that we grow over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more updates.

well done to the senior room girls who have worked hard on our new green school song... 'we need to talk about green schools'

Our Journey so far.......

Step 1 :
Our Green School Committee   

We have selected children from each class group to form our green school committee. Our secretary Mary, our caretaker John, Ms Daniel and Ms Conroy are all members of the green school committee. 

Step 2: Environmental Audit   
We are working hard on our Waste and Litter Flag in St Mary's NS. The children are working on a waste audit in the school and this will help us to make our plan of action in order to reduce our waste. We have identified litter 'blackspots' and have nominated our 'Waste Watchers' to keep an eye on our bin checklists and the number of bags being sent out to our bins every week. 

Step 3: Action Plan
We are gathering lots of information about our bins and how much waste the school produces.  We will soon be ready to put together our action plan.

​Stay tuned for more updates.........
