What is the Green-Schools Programme?

Green-Schools is Ireland’s leading environmental management and education programme for schools. It promotes long-term, whole-school action for the environment. Green-Schools is a student-led programme with involvement from the wider community. The programme is operated and coordinated by the Environmental Education Unit of An Taisce (FEE member for Ireland).

Who are the Green Schools Committee?

The Green Schools Programme involves the Whole School. Every student and staff member engages in it on a regular basis. By using the correct bin, choosing to walk or cycle to school, turning off the lights when not in use everyone is playing their part on the programme.

We also have a dedicated Green Schools Committee who meet regularly and elect executive members that are responsible for specific jobs.
