Green Flag



There may be no flags flying above Our Lady's NS at the moment but the good news is that when we get back to school we'll have another new flag to fly proudly from our flagpole.

That's right, this week, Our Lady's NS were awarded our fourth Green Schools Green Flag. Our new flag, which we earned through our work on the theme of Travel will be added to our Litter and Waste, Energy and Water flags.

This is a tremendous accomplishment for our school and one we could not have achieved without the hard work and support of all our students and those in the school community.

Special mention of course must go to Mrs O'Dea and her fantastic Green Schools Committee who really lead by example through their hard work and creativity and were the driving force behind achieving this award.

Well done to all!

The 2019/20 Green Schools Committee were:
Cormac Boylan, Eoin Boylan, Tom Corcoran, Darragh Croke, Grace Egan, James Egan, Rachel Hanlon, Órla McAree, Colin Murray, Hannah Murray, Róisín Norton, Oisín O'Brien and Tadhg O'Brien.
