Green Flag Awards DCU 2019

We had a great day on Wednesday at DCU's Helix theatre, where 2 of our Green Team members collected our brand new Green Flag for Energy.

The boys were part of over 30 Dublin schools who were receiving a new green flag on the day.

We will have a big celebration in the school when we can raise our 2 green flags together!

Here are some photos from the day:

Great news! 2nd Green Flag!

We have some wonderful news! We have successfully got our 2nd Green Flag!




After 2 years of hard work trying to save energy in our school, we have been granted our 2nd Green Flag.

This is thanks to all the hard work of the Green Team, all the children and staff and parents in St. Vincent's coming together.

We are very proud of our hard work. 

Members from our committee will go to the Helix in May to be awarded our Green Flag. We will then have a big party in the school to raise our flag high into the sky!

Spring Clean a Great Success!

Our Spring Clean was a great success on Friday.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came to help us on the morning.
Also a big thanks to all the kids and staff who gave up their time!
We did a litter pickup on the streets, canal and carpark and we did lots of garden clearing to make space for new Spring flowers to bloom.
The area looks great :)

Here are some small changes we can all make to make our planet safer and cleaner for our children and our children's children.

1. Say no to the straw!

2. Buy a Reusable bottle (you can get these really cheaply in Penneys, Tesco, TKMAX!)

 3. Get a Keep Cup for your coffee and tea (a lot of coffee shops will give you a discount for using it)

 4. Remember to bring your reusable bag to save money and the planet!

Books about the Environment

We have a nice new collection of books in our school for Green Schools.
The books are all about the environment and how we can help!
Here are some of the books we got to help the boys learn about being greener to help save the planet:


We got these books from an online shop called The Book Depository and they do free delivery if you would like to buy for your own home. The local library can also order any books in for you to borrow for free!
