Greenhill Trying to Make the World Greener

In Scoil Mhuire the Green-Schools committee helps promote the need for drastic change in the environment and where better to start then locally in our own school. The Green-Schools organization is run by the  dedicated students of Scoil Mhuire and teachers who give up their lunchtime to plan new ways we can help the environment. Our club is aiming for our first green flag, waste and recycling which we are well on our way to receiving . The green-schools was set up by founding teacher Ms. Healy with the help of Ms. Jones, Mr. Dineen and Ms. Brosnan and is now proud to have 18 dedicated members. The club meets every Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss what we can do to reduce the waste in our school. We recently purchased new bins, so waste can be disposed of properly and are happy to say that we are starting to see massive improvements in the waste disposal in Scoil Mhuire.
