youtu.be/B-WMev06dKs We are delighted to announce our school has made it to the final of the UNESCO youth awards. Our entry is our Ogham woodland. We planted all native Irish trees on our school grounds which will give year long supply of food to our pollinators. While the birds and bees are happy we are also cleaning the air in our locality and offsetting the carbon outlay from the local water butt project.
