Green Schools

Oola National School have over the past number of years, been part of the An Taisce, Green Schools Programme. So far the school has achieved the Litter and Waste, Energy, Water, Travel and Biodiversity flags. The children of Oola National School have been working on the Green-Schools programme in relation to achieving the next flag for, Global Citizenship Litter and Waste. We are proud to say we were awarded our fifth Green flag in May 2022.

The implementation of the Global Citizenship Litter and Waste Theme enables schools to raise awareness, make some positive changes and discover how work on Green-Schools can positively influence our global community. The theme is concerned with creating knowledge and understanding about the link between environmental degradation and human rights. Students learn about sustainable development and are enabled to examine the world's interdependency.
