We received great news this week informing us that our application for the International Green Flag Award on the theme of Energy has been successful. This is the second green flag to be awarded to Kiltealy N.S having received our first Green Flag on the Theme of Litter and Waste in 2015.

The school were commended for their hard work and have been invited to an awards ceremony on May 23rd in Hotel Kilkenny where they will be presented with The Green Flag by An Taisce. Not everyone can attend the ceremony due to the number of schools achieving awards on the day and so two senior members of our Green Schools Committee  will accept the Green Flag on behalf of the school, along with our Principal Ms. Mary Carroll, and Green School Co-ordinator Ms. Maeve Duff.

Well done to all involved.
