Green Flag launch on the 23rd of June to Rahara National School, County Roscommon

Rahara National School launched their fourth Green Flag since taking the initative in 2008

The Green Flag towers over the glorious green village, as the air consumes fresh cuttings of luscious grass

It is a remarkable achievement to be finishing the school year with such a positive foot forward

This is their fourth Green Flag since being involved with An Taisces programme.

The schools commitment, work-ethic and great care for the environment encouraged mentors and students to achieve their first ever Green Schools flag for Sustainable Travel. 

Since the school is in a rural setting and safety reasons prevented students from travelling in a sustainable fashion to school, the students were innnovative in their thinking and took safety lessons from experienced Garda Siochana members.

They also looked at carbon emissions and realised their fruit salad travel 72,00km alone to reach their tables.

The evening was concluded by speeches and a loud applause for all the hard-working children and their mentors involved in achieving again another Green Flag for Rahara community.

May the Greenery continue.........
