Clean Air Week

11/23/2020 15:14

As party of our ongoing goal to achieve our Green Flag for travel, last week we launched a No-Idling Campaign outside the school gates.  This campaign is a key to reducing air pollution and in turn protecting ourselves, our school, our environment and our wallets. This week is Clean Air Week and this week seeks to highlight traffic pollutants caused by cars and buses at school.  During this week, we will further teach our pupils the importance of trying to get our environment as clean as possible, through lessons on Air Pollution, testing our Air Quality at the school gates and also having poster and poetry competitions.  Read more about the national campaign here from The Irish Times https://www.irishtimes.com/news/education/dozens-of-schools-to-introduce-no-idling-zones-under-campaign-to-tackle-air-pollution-1.4416178 #beatairpollution Green Schools
