/in School News /by Ballagh NsDear School Community,
This year we are working hard towards obtaining our fourth green flag. Our theme is based on Travel. We have worked hard in the past on the Green Schools themes of “Litter” and “Energy” “Water” and we continue to maintain these themes.
We have a committee to represent all our hard work and to help think up ideas on how to travel to school in an eco-friendly manner.
We monitor our modes of transport to school and we are currently working on the Environmental Review and Action plan for the Travel theme. We hope to hold some Action Days in the future and we have lots of exciting activities planned. We realise Climate Change is a serious issue that needs to be addressed by all nations. We are willing to make a contribution within our school and community. As part of our Curriculum and Greenschools work, we have completed fieldwork with the help of Jillian Banahan and Caitriona our Green Schools Travel Coordinator. Recently, we went on a wonderful walkability audit and SESE walk in the locality to assess where we might locate our park and stride location for our WALK ON WEDNESDAY initiative.
There are seven steps to our Green Schools project:
Remember:
‘Walk, you’ll save fuel and you’ll feel cool!’

Taste of the Lakelands Festival Parade
/in School News /by Ballagh NsOn Thursday, 6th October, the pupils of Ballagh NS took part in the Opening Ceremony Parade for the Taste of the Lakelands Festival in Lanesboro/Ballyleague. All the children were dressed in wonderful costumes and brightly coloured clothes and they proudly marched through the streets of Lanesboro and Ballyleague displaying their wonderful artwork. This was a wonderful evening and there were lots of exciting floats and characters to be seen. As a thank you for taking part, the children were treated to an ice-cream party the following day at school, by the Festival Committee.
