Third Green School Flag for Marino School
Marino Community Special School is delighted to receive a third Green Flag for our school, following the successful application to An Taisce for the Green Flag in May 2021, based on the theme of water conservation. The An Taisce assessor and the team at Green-Schools were very impressed with our application and congratulated all the hard-working members of our Green-Schools committee, and everyone in Marino School. There was a great level of engagement from all staff and students throughout the school year.
Students in Marino School celebrated our Green Flag Water Award on the 14th October 2021, with a virtual award ceremony with An Taisce. We will soon raise our new flag in school. Congratulations again to everyone on this success and our on-going endeavours to promote water conservation and to protect our environment. Thank you to Mary Grealy for co-ordinating all our Green School projects. Our new Green School theme is TRAVEL. We hope to encourage members of our school community to be more active (walking, scooting and cycling) and to try to reduce our carbon footprints.
Thank you to An Taisce for all the Green Schools initiatives and for developing awareness in our school and for having a positive impact on all our school communities!
