Congratulations Everybody!

We had great news last week when we received a letter from An Taisce to confirm that Patrickswell N.S. has been successful in its application for a FOURTH Green Flag!  Flag No.1 was awarded for litter control. Flag No. 2 was awarded for energy conservation. Flag No. 3 was awarded for water conservation. Flag No. 4 is awarded for measures taken by schools to reduce the number of car-trips to and from the school by those who learn and/or work in the school--and initiatives to educate all in the community about proper use of roads and pathways, road safety, cycling safety and pedestrian safety.  Well done to Mr. Nestor and his very hard-working committee of pupils and parents who led the project! Thanks also to our mentor, Ellen. The flag will be presented to the school at a special ceremony in Thomond Park before the Summer Holidays.
