Oceans of Discovery Workshop – Green Schools Marine Programme

24th Feb 2026

🌍🌊 Green Schools Day of Action – Working Towards Our 8th Green Flag! πŸ’™

 

We recently held a fantastic Green Schools Day of Action as part of our application for our 8th Green Flag, focusing on Global Citizenship – Marine Environment. This maintenance theme reminds us that small local actions can make a global impact — especially when it comes to protecting our oceans and seas. 🌊

 

The day was packed with marine-related activities from Junior Infants right up to 6th Class, including art, storytelling and games, alongside Day 2 of our Oceans of Discovery workshop. Pupils continued their hands-on learning about Ireland’s marine life, biodiversity, conservation and sustainability. πŸ πŸŽ¨πŸ“š

 

To mark the occasion, staff and students dressed in blue, creating a wonderful sea of colour throughout the school! πŸ’™πŸ³

 

We also celebrated the fantastic work already completed in:

♻️ Litter & Waste

πŸ’‘ Energy

πŸ’§ Water

🚢‍♀️ Travel

🌿 Biodiversity

🌎 Global Citizenship

 

Classroom competitions added to the fun while reinforcing key environmental messages and encouraging teamwork.

 

A massive congratulations to Ms Mac Auley for coordinating the entire Day of Action — an incredible achievement! πŸ‘

 

We are so proud of our pupils, staff and Green Schools Committee as we continue working towards our 8th Green Flag. Together, we are making a difference — for our community and our planet. 🌍✨
