Killusty N.S. is a proud participant of the Green-schools programme. The aim of the programme is to make environmental awareness and action, part of the life and ethos of the school.
In 2021 we built on the success of our First Green Flag for Litter and Waste and were proudly awarded our second green flag for Energy and Global Citizenship. Check out our Project Focus below.
We are conserving energy as best we can by turning off our lights and computers when not in use. Our main area of focus was researching the fashion industry and identifying ways of how we can be more sustainable with our fashion choices.
The clothing & textile industry is the second largest contributor to global pollution. The process of making textiles is both energy-demanding and pollutant-intensive, involving huge amounts of water, energy, chemicals, pesticides and herbicides.
To combat this we can REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE AND REPAIR our clothes!
Our Green Schools Board
To boot, congratulations to the sixth class who
who won the Energy Competition in the local Library.
