On Tuesday, some representatives of our Green Schools Committee travelled to The Helix to attend the National Green Flag awards ceremony. Here, the boys were presented with our 8th Green Flag for Global Citizenship: Marine Environment. Our committee have worked very hard for the last two years for this flag and their work certainly paid off! Well done boys!

Our Sixth Class did an excellent job of cleaning up in Cuala Fpotball grounds on Hude Road. Well done!

The boys really embraced National Bike Week this week! Maith sibh buachaillí!

We had a great time picking litter for our annual spring clean. Each class covered a different area of Dalkey, so we had a great spread across our locality. Well done for keeping our town tidy boys!

Second class did a great job for this year’s National Spring Clean, up and down St. Patrick’s Road. Well done boys!

This week our Green Schools committee had the opportunity to test their skills and brush up their knowledge of rubbish sorting and responsible recycling through the ‘Bin it Better’ workshop. The boys impressed our visitor with their existing knowledge and learned a lot about how they can encourage people around them at home and in school to “Bin it Better”. Well done boys!

Our four baby chickens are doing well. All settled into their brood box for the next few days🐣🐣🐣🐣

Our Chicken Cam is now up and running😀 We are expecting our first chicken to emerge on Tuesday. Check back for updates! Thanks to the PA for funding this project

Well done to all the boys who participated in Walk to School Week 2025! The boys ditched their cars this week and opted to walk, cycle, scoot or park-and-stride to make the most of the dry Autumn weather and help the environment while they were at it. Our Green Schools committee kept a record of the boys who walked each day and compiled our data in a colourful bar chart. Maith sibh a bhuachaillí!

The boys did a great job litter picking along St. Patrick’s Road. Well done everyone!
