Green schools were busy this week - learning about Sustainable Development Goals with a special focus on goal 6 - Access to water and sanitation.
As part of this, Green schools decided to write a letter to Uisce Eirinn, Wexford County Council and to the EPA.

Marianne and Sue educated teachers and students alike in the benefits of leaf mulch and mould.

We learned how it can regulate temperature, moisture and conditions the soil. 

Leaf layers are critically important to plants which return nutrients to the roots of the trees.

A massive thank you, once again, to Marianne and Sue - our gardening experts, who dedicate so much time and energy to educating our students in all things horticulture!

Being a small school, we rely heavily on the kindness of parents and the wider community and thankfully we are blessed to have such committed and kind parents on board. We are incredibly indebted to you - thank you!

Mr. Dunford's 6th Class paid a visit to the Wildfowl Reserve this week.

They learned about local and migrating species of birds and completed quizzes and workshops. 

They thoroughly enjoyed their time in the reserve, thanks to the kindness and professionalism of the staff.

The class were extremely enthusiastic and represented the school in an exemplary way. 

Best of luck to our departing 6th class pupils - you have left a positive legacy here in Scoil Mhuire and you will be greatly missed.

Thanks especially to Sam, who was a senior member of our committee and helped support and encourage our younger members. 

What a lovely way to say farewell!

A huge thank you to our Green School Committee for all their hard work and dedication to raising awareness for our current theme of Travel and Global Citizenship.

You have demonstrated exemplary leadership and passion and you deserve to be celebrated today!

I am so proud of all our students who continue to be ambassadors for our environment.

Thank you to our parents, community, staff and Lucy from Green Schools Ireland, who kindly support the initiative all year round. This could not be achieved without your help.

Well done to Ms. Nolan's class who completed a project on renewable design. 

We listened to proposals from the groups and discussed product design and the merits of each invention!

They worked so hard and projects were considered, creative and sustainable.

​Brilliant work!
