ST. BRIGID’S SUCCESSFULLY RENEWS THEIR ECO FLAG AWARD!
On Monday 21 November St. Brigid’s pupils held an ECO Show to display all the work they have been doing over a year. The two assessors were shown a short movie of the pupils and staff working together to improve the world on both a local and global manner. To the sound of rapturous music, the children then held an indoor parade to showcase their achievements. The assessors were particularly impressed that all environmental work had been on a whole school basis and was extremely inclusive. They were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and happiness that was so apparent from the pupils and staff. The assessors also met with the Pupil ECO Committee to discuss projects past, present and future. The committee then gave the assessors a tour of the school to highlight the improvements made to the school grounds. This included a walk through the school’s nature trail and garden area as the pupils showed how the school has embraced their ECO Code and gained a better understanding of bio-diversity.
To the sound of loud cheers and enthusiastic applause the two assessors were delighted to announce to the pupils and staff, that St. Brigid’s P.S had successfully achieved the ECO Flag Award! They were so impressed with the work and achievements of the school that they have asked if we can use the school video to share good practice with other schools.
