What a turnout!! It seemed that almost every girl in the school had brought her scooter yesterday to SOW day! And what amazing scooters! Each one was more blinged than the next.

 

  Best of all, we fulfilled our challenge of making a scooter chain around the school. Ms. McGowan led the scooters from the front yard right around the school building and back!

We hope to upload a video of the spectacular scooter chain shortly.

There were literally over a hundred and fifty amazing scooters so it was with great difficulty that these five excellent souped-up scooters were chosen! Well done to the winners and to all the girls- a great  day!

Are you ready for SOW day?

Don't Forget that this Wednesday 13th March is SOW Day (Scoot on Wednesday)!!

Bling your scooter, take part in The Great Scooter Race, and join in the scooter chain around the school.

Biodiversity Survey results

Welcome to a new year for the Coiste Uaine. We have a new set of class representatives and a new challenge! Our next Green Flag award will  be on the theme of BIODIVERSITY.
A bit hazy about what biodiversity really means? Can't quite put your finger on why it's important? well we will all be educating ourselves about the topic over the next two years!

The girls in the school have already completed a biodiversity survey and we will hopefully get it up on the website so you at home can try it too. Watch this space for more news!


Don't forget that Feet on Friday will be on going this year, as will recycling, reusing and energy and water saving.

Next Friday is "Witchy Feet on Friday" with everyone dressing up and taking a Witchy Walk to school. It was a great success last year with many Mums and teachers also walking in costume so
don't miss it!

Our fourth Green Flag, awarded for Greener Travel, was raised on Friday the 31st May amid much cheering and jubilation. Such a tremendous effort has been made this past two years that every girl in the school felt justifiably proud as the flag was added to the other three flying outside the front of the school!
