Green Schools Initiative

Green-Schools is an international environmental education programme, offering a well-defined, controllable way for schools to take environmental issues from the curriculum and apply them to the day-to-day running of their school.

Glenasmole has been proudly participating in the Green Schools initiative since 2005. Over the years, we have demonstrated our dedication to creating a sustainable environment within our school and community.

Through the collective efforts of our Green Schools Committee, comprised of students from Junior Infants to 6th Class and and staff, we have successfully achieved nine flags. These milestones signify our commitment to various environmental themes and showcase our ongoing dedication to sustainability.

Global Citizenship- Food and Biodiversity

Here at Glenasmole National School we are extremely dedicated to our Green Schools journey and are currently working towards achieving our 10th Green School flag: Global Citizenship- Food and Biodiversity.

For this flag, we are focusing on utilising our school grounds to grow and harvest our own crops and exploring biodiversity on a local and global scale.

Our green schools committee are leading our school with this project and have done a fantastic job so far.

We are really looking forward to seeing how our gardens flourish this year!
