Learn about what Global Citizenship means and what the 17 Global Goals/Sustainable Development Goals are. 🌍💚
Below is the list of Green Girls for this school year 2022/2023. Our Green Girls play an important role in maintaining our current flags and helping the school to work towards its next flag. Belgrove Senior Girls’ School currently holds five Green School flags. They are Litter and Waste, Energy, Water, Travel and Biodiversity. Our school is due to work towards our next flag, Global Citizenship- Litter and Waste. Girls are encouraged to reduce waste and recycle where possible. It is also fantastic to see so many girls and teachers walking, scooting, cycling and skateboarding to school this year. Maith sibh, and keep up the good work everybody!
Last Week was Climate Action Week and the Green School Committee along with all the pupils at Belgrove really got stuck in with lots of activities.💚 The Green Girls showed their class a presentation all about climate change and ways we can all do our bit to help the planet.🌍 We had another Walk to School Week where we walked, cycled or scooted, well done everyone!! 🚶♂️ 🚴♂️ Each class also got their thinking caps on and made some fantastic upcycling creations, from games to art structures. 🎳🎭 Some of the GSC girls participated in a Clontarf Tidy Towns clean up and did a brilliant job keeping Clontarf beautiful and clean!! 🚮 Thanks so much to the amazing volunteers!! Lastly, on Friday the whole school participated in a no power hour in the classrooms to remind us of the importance of conserving energy such as turning off lights and powering off devices when not in use. 💡📴 We also announced the winners of the Walk to School competition. It was extremely close but big well done to Ms Farrell’s and Ms Creedon’s class who are now the proud owners of the Golden Boot!! 👏🥾 Check out some of the photos below from the week. 😁
We had a fantastic first Green School Committee meeting with our Green Girls today. We got to meet each other, we discussed some of our aims for the rest of this year and we raised our most recently earned flag -Biodiversity, with Derek’s help. Thank you very much Derek for joining us for this. The girls also received their first task of educating their classes on what materials can be put into our classroom recycling bins. I can’t wait to see your posters (list) which are to be stuck onto your classroom recycling bin!!
Check out some of the photos from today, raising our 5th green flag – Biodiversity Flag!! Maith sibh a chailíní, tá sibh ar fheabhas!!! 👏
