Presentation of Irish Flag to St. Patrick's

We recently had an exciting visit from two members of the Army. The two officers presented us with the Irish Flag. This is to commemorate to the centenary of the 1916 Rising and to celebrate 100 years since the Proclomation of the Irish Republic, an important date in Irish history.

Two Junior Infants receiving the flag,

There was excellent listening at the assembly. 

Noah and Emily from Second Class did a fantastic job reading an extract from the Proclomation. Well done! 

2015/2016 Green School Committee

Our new Green Schools committee members have been working hard this year ensuring we keep our school as Green as possible and they have been doing a super job. Here are some pictures of the different subcommittees.

Transport squad
The transport squad record, on a daily basis, all the children who try really hard to help the environment by walking, scooting, cycling or car pooling to school.

Annalise and Alan from Senior Infants are doing a brilliant job.

Keeva and Enya doing their job and counting all those who walked, scooted, cycled or car pooled.

Water squad
The water squad save water by making sure no taps in any of the classrooms are dripping or leaking.

Jade and Alan make sure none of the First or Second Classes have dripping taps. They do a great job!

Holly and Aidan look after the taps in the infant classes.

Energy Squad
The energy sqaud make sure we don't waste any energy. They make sure lights and whiteboards are switched off at lunchtimes and classroom doors are closed.

Maggie and Daniel from Senior Infants always make sure the doors are closed. Well done! 

Jamie and Emily from Second Class are making sure their class always earns their energy token. Great job!

Biodiversity squad
This is our newest squad and these members(also known as Bio-Ds) increase biodiversity in the school garden by keeping the plants watered and litter to an absolute minimum!

Conor and Emily from Senior Infants doing their job! Super work!

We are currently working on our 6th Green Flag for Global Citizenship. We want to become a Global Citizen school and there will be a fun event coming up soon to help us become global citizens! We will keep you updated! :)
