Welcome to the Green School Page.
Our team is made up of a creative and dedicated group focussed on making our school environment in FVC as sustainable as possible. Ms K Mc Granaghan (Co-ordinator) was delighted to welcome on board and congratulate these students for volunteering to help make a difference.
At our meetings, wonderful ideas are being discussed in how small changes can make a big difference. The group are busy planning ideas in relation to litter and waste and how our school can become more sustainable in relation to this topic. They have enlisted the help of Ciaran our Caretaker, Ms Butler and Ms C Mc Granaghan who are delighted to assist.
What we’ve been up to this year…..
The group continue to promote the Battery Waste Initiative run nationally with WEEE Ireland.
TY students and the Green School Committee Members continue to weigh and sort our waste. They are proactive in encouraging staff and students to use the correct bins for food waste, recycling and general waste.
16 Solar Panels were installed in the school which is making a difference to the environment and reducing our electricity bills. To avoid waste we are turning off lights and devices when not in use.
We are continuing with our Positive Sustainable Practice Projects via guest speakers, quizzes, surveys and action days.
We are linking in with the Community such as The Tidy Towns, our local Recycling Plant, Donegal County Council and Cúnamh Charity Shop.
Below are some photos of the Committee. We thank them for their hard work in helping make our school more eco-friendly and sustainable every year. We ask everyone to help make a difference by following our Green School Code:
