Our other green flags

Over the last number of years, Mount Anville has successfully been awarded three Green Flags in the Green Schools programme. "Green Schools" is a programme run by An Taisce. It aims to increase students' awareness of environmental issues and to turn this knowledge into positive action in the school and in the wider community.
The programme is themed. Schools initially focus on the theme of Litter & Waste.
To obtain their first flag the children explore ways of reducing waste in the school and at home. They learn how to recycle, to compost and how to minimise the use of things like packaging. Once successful, the school moves onto the Energy, Water, Travel and Green Home themes.
Because Mount Anville is now an established Green School the aim of the current committee is
to uphold the ethos of the “Green School” philosophy through Travel.
