Field Trip to Mulleady's Recycling Centre
The children of 5th and 6th class had a very enjoyable and informative field trip today at Mulleady's Recycling Plant in Drumlish!
Many thanks to our guide Ludmila who showed us all around the plant and told us about the facility, how they work to separate materials as well as the importance of putting the correct rubbish into the correct bin!
We are working hard towards our Green School Flag for Global Citizenship- Litter and Waste and this was an invaluable opportunity to see just what happens to our waste and for children to gain a greater understanding of the importance of recycling!
Thanks to Ludmila Gabrisova and Mulleadys for facilitating our trip!

Green Schools Committee
Our Green Schools Committee consists of children from 3rd - 6th Class.
They got straight to work ensuring all classrooms are disposing of rubbish correctly, recycling as much as possible as well as reusing any leftover photocopies.
Our goal is to REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE!

Global Citizenship - Litter and Waste
We are delighted to have just begun work on the theme for our sixth Green Flag, 'Global Citizenship - Litter and Waste.'
Citizenship most often relates to being a member of a nation state (country) but it can also relate to being a member of a union of states, like the European Union, or even to the Global population: every single one of us is a citizen of the world. Global citizenship is a moral understanding of our responsibilities and our rights in a global context.
Being a true Global Citizen indicates that we understand that ALL people have equal rights, while at the same time valuing diversity. In addition, it means that we value the earth as very precious and as a resource upon which we all depend and should care for.
The Global Citizenship Litter and Waste theme is concerned with creating knowledge and understanding about the link between environmental degradation and human rights. The children will be learning about sustainable development and will be enabled to examine the world’s interdependency and development in a critical manner in order to create real change by acting locally, effecting a more equitable, just and sustainable globe for ALL!
