This year our school is participating in the Translink Eco-Schools Travel Challenge being run in partnership by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful Eco-Schools and Translink.
Children in classes P5-P7 will be asked to take part in this challenge over a 2 week period starting on Monday 6th May.
We will look at what transport pupils currently use to get to and from school and ask you and them to try and make sustainable improvements during this period and beyond. For example: taking the bus, train, walking or cycling – even once a week can make a big difference! You could also consider arranging car sharing with another parent if possible.
This is a fantastic opportunity for our school to work towards becoming more environmentally sustainable by reducing carbon emissions caused by traffic and is a positive step towards reducing car congestion around the school. It is also a healthy and sociable option for our pupils. We will also be using the challenge as a means to achieving the prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag award.
