The senior members of the Green Schools committee recently took part in a forum on Water as part of our efforts towards attaining our third green flag. It took place in the Riverside Hotel with eight other primary schools also in attendance.

A student from each school introduced their school to the other teachers and children in attendance and Seán did a great job on behalf of Marshalstown NS. Kyle, Chloe and Caoimhe also took on the speaker role to great success at various stages throughout the day as we engaged in a number of discussions and activities.

We brainstormed some ideas on the perfect water school and were also inspired by the ideas of everyone around us. It was a great opportunity to listen to those who have already achieved their Water Flag as well as those who are at the same part of the process as we are.

A great day was had by all and we are looking forward to sharing everything we learned with the rest of the committee and the school.
