Our Green School Committee are once again encouraging pupils to please walk or cycle to school next week if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, if you can, please car pool to reduce traffic.

Scooter Workshop

Today our junior school pupils took part in a fun Scooter Workshop to learn about safe scooting and the rules of the road. Thank you to  our Green Schools Officer Tom who facilitated this fun workshop.

Walkability Audit January 2024

Our Green Schools Committee were delighted to welcome Travel Officer Tom back to school this week. He helped us to check how safe our school environment is for pedestrians. We all took turns using the speed gun and were delighted to see that most of our motorists were driving well under the speed limit. We also walked around our locality and made notes on dangers and hazards for pedestrians in our area.

​Please walk or cycle to school next week if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, if you can, please car pool to reduce traffic. We will carry out a second car park audit on Wednesday, October 4th and we hope to see a big reduction in traffic!

Travel Officer Visit

Today the Green Schools Committee met with Tom, who is a Travel Officer from An Taisce. He explained to us the steps we need to take over the next two years to achieve our Green Flag for Travel. We learned so much and we cannot wait to get started!

Travel Theme - 2023 to 2024

Picture

You may have noticed members of our Green Schools Committee conducting a car park audit on September 13th. 49 cars arrived in the car park today. We will be promoting National Walk to School Week for the rest of the month. We will conduct another car park audit during National Walk to School Week to see if we can reduce our car numbers by asking families to walk or cycle where it is safe to do so. For families who cannot walk or cycle to school we hope that they can help us reduce car traffic by car pooling that week!

Our second car park audit took place during Walk to School Week on October 4th. We promoted walking or cycling where it is safe to do so. We made our school community aware of our campaign through a noticeboard at the school gate, a colouring competition for all classes and a leaflet drop at the gate (on recycled paper!). We understand that the roads in our community are far too dangerous for most children to walk or cycle so we asked people to car pool if they could. We registered a 14.2% reduction in car traffic this week.
