This year we will be applying for our 5th Green flag. The theme for this flag is Biodiversity. Biodiversity is the huge variety and variation of life that surrounds us. Biodiversity is essential in keeping the environment healthy and fit for human life. Not only do we rely on biodiversity but our activities also have an effect on it. So the Biodiversity theme connects you, our school and our wider community with the natural environment and cultivates a sense of wonder, appreciation and value for all the biodiversity around us.
We have already been exploring our school environs with a biodiversity theme in mind and are very fortunate to have the wonderful Nature trail Bothar na Naomh at our disposal to explore for our Green school flag.
