Green Schools

Loreto Primary School Dalkey is continuing its long-standing commitment to caring for the environment and promoting active, responsible citizenship through the Green Schools programme. The school has already earned eight Green Flags and is now focusing on the theme of Global Citizenship and Travel, while also maintaining work on all previous themes.

Our Green Flags and themes

Over the years, the school community has worked together to earn eight Green Flags, reflecting sustained effort across a wide range of environmental themes. As part of the Green Schools process, classes continue to revisit and build on earlier themes while progressing with the current one.

  • Flags achieved so far: Litter and Waste, Energy, Water, Travel, Biodiversity, Global Citizenship & Litter and Waste, Global Citizenship & Energy and Global Citizenship & the Marine Environment.

Green Committee and whole-school involvement

The Green Committee plays a central role in driving this work, ensuring that pupils have a real voice in environmental decision-making in the school. Parents and staff also contribute actively, making Green Schools a genuine whole-school and community effort.

  • The committee is made up of two pupils from each class from 1st to 6th, alongside teachers and parents, who meet regularly to plan and review actions.

Working with Dalkey Tidy Towns and the local community

Loreto Primary School Dalkey works closely with Dalkey Tidy Towns to help keep the local area clean and attractive for everyone. Pupils see that their efforts in school connect directly with the wider community.

  • Classes take part in organised litter picking in the area, helping children to take pride in their local environment and understand the impact of litter.
