Across a broad and diverse range of societal areas our students actively engage with their community and society.
Through our Green Schools Committee and our immersion in Global Citizenship Education our students learn to find their own voices, articulate their concerns and to advocate for those who are weakest in society.
Global Citizenship Education (GCE) is an educational process aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the rapidly changing, interdependent and unequal world in which we live. By challenging stereotypes and encouraging independent thinking, GCE helps students critically explore the root causes of global justice issues and how they interlink with our everyday lives.
Global Citizenship Education:
● Is about teaching and learning through a global justice lens
● Allows students to explore the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to become global citizens
● Cultivates the key skills at Junior and Senior Cycle
● Facilitates students to take action for a more just and sustainable world
“Your Action is Crucial, Be Waste Neutral”
The Green Schools programme is an initiative to promote environmental awareness in our school. As a whole school community, we will work together to fix environmental issues that affect our school and our city.
Our main aim is to promote recycling and the responsible use of school facilities. There are a total of eight Green Flags organised into different categories. We are currently working on our first Green Flag for litter and waste. We firmly believe that the school environment can be improved for all of us by partaking in this programme.
Your action is crucial, be waste neutral.
