Global Citizenship: Travel

In 2024, we started our research into applying for our 9^th Green Flag, under the theme ‘Global Citizenship Travel’. We had lots of guidance from Laura Tannian who is the Green Schools Travel Officer for our area. We enjoyed many days and projects while learning about travel and it’s effect in the world.

We enjoyed a Cycle Safety course in the Senior Room, and a Scooter Safety Course with the younger classes. We spent days doing workshops with Laura discussing Climate Change, and how food and where we import it from affects the world and the climate. 

The school promoted a ‘No Car Idiling’ policy at our school gates where we asked our parents to switch the car off to save on fumes and emissions.

The Senior Room worked hard on researching different topics and presented them to the whole school community to pass on the messages.

We all learned how we can make a difference in the world and made a promise to carpool where we can. In May, 2026, we were delighted to send three student representatives and Ms. O Doherty to collect our flag on behalf of the whole school. It flutters outside proudly, showing that we are committed to keeping our world healthy and clean!
