Car Free Day - Green Flag Initiative
September 19th
This year sees us strive to obtain our 4th Green Flag. The theme for the 4th flag is Travel, there are 7 steps in the process which include continued development of our green schools code and continuous efforts at litter/waste, water management and energy efficiency. As part of the travel theme we aim to promote a cleaner environment by minimising amount of traffic to and from school on a daily basis. Wednesday is our Walk On Wednesday where students and staff are encouraged to carpool, walk, cycle and park and stride. Surveys are taken every Wednesday to monitor our progress.

3K Walk
On Thursday last week the whole school went on a 3 mile walk around the town of Kilfinane as part of the schools effort to promote a healthy life style and a fun approach to exercise. All staff took part as well and the student body went in class groups. Everyone was given a safety vest and instructions were given by teachers before departure as to behaviour on the road and staying safe on the trip. The weather was fabulous and every one enjoyed the event.
This was part of the nationwide drive to encourage students and parents to incorporate exercise in to their daily routine by dropping off their child at designated drop off points around Kilfinane and allowing their child to complete their trip on foot to school. Students are also encouraged to cycle to school and a small number of students avail of this option.
It is the schools hope to repeat this walk in the last term of school and to also repeat the very successful Scoil Pól cycle day from last year. The cycle consists of two options – a family 10k cycle or a more adventurous 60k for the more experienced.
