What we do

The Green Committee supports the school by creating awareness about the environment in the widest sense of the word through numerous projects such as:
​

• Green STEM: incorporating environmental awareness and sustainability across a number of different themes in the classroom
• Climate Protests: working with the teachers and the Arts Committee to engage pupils creatively in the subject of the climate crisis by creating posters and banners
• Irish Tree Week/establishing a tree nursery: teaching pupils about the need for trees and to helping to spark an interest in nature
• Green Earth Day: a full day of environmental awareness events such as STEM classes for all years, story time, beach clean and a zero-waste lunch
• Heritage in Schools (HiS): an annually run programme where each class has two sessions with a HiS expert. 
• New School Grounds: continuous work on developing a natural playground and garden

Activities such as local beach cleans are run through the Greystones Junior Tidy Towns initiative and contribute to the Green School Flag programme.
