​Well done to all the children who took part in the competition and congratulations to the 3 winners. Take a look at the wonderful entries.

Thank you to Vantage for helping classes plant during the Tidy Schools Initiative ​

​A huge thank you to Vantage and SISK for sponsoring our Tidy School Initiative. We were delighted to receive new equipment and planting materials to support the Green School’s Tidy School Initiative. An extra thank you for the planters made from recyclable waste on the building site. We will be busy gardening for the weeks ahead.

St. Ronan's is working towards their 8th Green Flag: 'Global Citizenship-Marine Environment'.  As part of their action plan, each class completed a project based on the topic of Marine Life. The projects were displayed in our PE Hall. Parents and students were welcomed to view the exhibition and each class had to complete a task based on the projects. ​

As part of our ongoing work towards our green flag for Global Citizenship and the Marine Environment our Green School Committee visited Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove Beach. We walked the pier at Dun Laoghaire and spotted different marine birds. We looked at the lighthouse and saw the boats. After lunch on the bandstand we visited Sandycove beach. We even managed to dip our toes in the sea. A huge thank you to Alan in Dublin Bus for providing us with the bus.

Congratulations to all the students who submitted an entry to the annual Recycled Christmas Decoration Competition. As always the standard was extremely high. Four winning entries were selected to represent the school in the S.D.C.C completion. Have a look at the entries below.

Four of our Green School's officers attended a Marine Litter Workshop in the Clayton Hotel in Dundrum. They turned marine litter into art and learned lots about the marine environment.

The new Green School Committee has been set up. We are working towards our 8th green flag - Global Citizenship and the Marine Environment.

Officer elections were held on Friday the 20th of October and new Chairpersons, Secretaries and Clean and Green Organisers have been appointed.

Congratulations and well done to all classes for their participation in the Tidy School Competition. The standard was exceptionally high, and each class worked extremely hard on their area. The school looks fantastic. The results were very tight. Well done to Ms. Reilly's and Ms. Kiernan's class for finishing in joint third place, to the three 3rd classes who finished in 2nd place and to Ms. Young's class who finished in 1st place. As a reward for all the hard work every class was rewarded with an ice-cream. Well done to all and keep up the good work. Have a look at some of the photos from the last few weeks.
