Fourth Green School Flag for Marino School
Marino Community Special School is delighted to receive a fourth Green School Flag, following the successful application to An Taisce for the Green Flag in April 2023. This Green School award is based on the travel theme. The An Taisce assessor was very impressed with the work of the Green-Schools committee. There was also a great level of engagement from all staff and students over the last two years to maintain our engagement with the existing themes of biodiversity and water conservation.
Congratulations again to everyone on this success and our on-going endeavours to promote activity/public transport and to reduce travelling by car. Thank you to Miona Kikanovic and Tommy Kearney for co-ordinating this recent Green School project on Travel. We 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!
