On Tuesday the 5th of October the Green-schools awards ceremony took place. We were delighted to receive our new flag under the theme of Global Citizenship; Litter and Waste. This is our 6th Green Schools flag. We are very proud of all the hard work carried out by our committee, both past and present and the whole school Community. Here are some photos from the ceremony.
