About Green Schools

The Green Schools programme was set up to raise environmental awareness across schools in Ireland. The Green Schools team and committee were re-established in Solas Chríost in September 2019. In 2020 and 2021 our main aim is to renew our waste and litter flag. As a school we will work together to reduce our litter and waste and increase recycling school wide. 
​Recycle every day instead of throwing paper and plastic away!

Creative at home!

 This time of year lots of animals including birds can be extra hungry because of the changeable weather. Why not get creative and make your own bird feeder at home!

Our Green Schools Action Day!

The Green Schools team were delighted with the participation during our recent Action Day. The children got up to lots of interesting activities. Infants were singing songs and completing recycling drawings, the first and second classes were playing games with reusable materials such as tic-tac toe, third and forth classes were busy completing litter picks around the school and fifth and sixth classes created recycling posters. Well done to all and it was great to see everyone wearing their green clothing!

We hope to submit our application for the Litter and Waste flag in the coming weeks.

Caring for nature in Solas Chríost!

Well done to all the boys and girls in both Speech and Language classes and their teachers Ms Balfe and Ms O Brien for their wonderful work in creating a new home for animals in our garden. This bug hotel was made from lots of items we find in nature. We hope the animals enjoy their new home!
