We are very proud of the fact that we have been involved in the Green Schools Ireland programme for over 20 years.  We have been very successful in attaining Green School flags under the following themes:

• Litter and Waste
• Energy
• Water
• Travel
• Biodiversity
• Global Citizenship – Litter and Waste
• Global Citizenship – Energy
• Global Citizenship – Marine Environment
• Global Citizenship – Travel
• Global Citizenship – Food and Biodiversity

Altogether, we have succeeded in attaining nine flags and we are working to get our tenth flag in 2026.

The Green Schools Committee has always been a very important part of our life here in Anacarty National School.  We are very focused on recycling and keeping our environment clean, litter-free and promoting biodiversity in our school grounds.

We also promote walking and cycling to school, as well as growing our own food and having a beautiful school garden.  Over the years, we have added a school garden as well as planting trees.  We even have a willow dome.

We were very successful in getting a bicycle shed for our school when we were working on the Travel theme.  We are very conscious of our own effect on the environment and we do all we can to promote looking after the world that we live in.
