Green School

Our school is a Green School!

Green Schools is a fantastic programme that teaches children to be more environmentally friendly.

Scoil Chaoimhín  Naofa has been a proud member of Green Schools for over 15 years.

We were awarded our first flag for waste in 2006.

We are so proud of the work every student both past and present, has put into our Green School programme.

Marine Environment Conference

On 29th January 2020, Fifth and Sixth Class pupils went to the Royal Marine Hotel in Dún Laoghaire for the An Taisce Marine Environment Conference. We had a fabulous day and learned a lot of fascinating facts about our oceans and about how to protect marine life. We were fortunate to hear from some experts in this field who delivered informative and engaging speeches. We got a chance to explore the amazing exhibitions from schools around the country and share our own exhibition which you will see below. We even made an appearance on RTÉ’s News2Day programme! We left the conference with renewed enthusiasm for learning about the wonderful marine environment that surrounds us and with motivation to continue our work to protect it. The sea theme continued on the journey home as we had a go at singing the sea shanties taught to us by the The Howth Singing Circle.

Marine Planning Poster Competition

Well done to everyone who took part in the Marine Planning Poster Competition. The posters were of a very high standard and illustrated a bright future for our sea.

A huge congratulations to winners Clark Kelly and Isla Coad!
