Dear parents,
Word reached the school this week that Ballybrown NS has been awarded its first Green Flag. This is the culmination of 18 months hard work by everybody, children, teachers, ancillary staff and the entire school community. The amount of work that went into this was quite staggering while there was also great emphasis on recording and monitoring all the initiatives that were involved. Mrs Hodgins, who co-ordinated the Green School initiative, and Ms Mc Carthy deserve special mention as do all the children who served on the Green School Committee. The Green Flag will be presented at a special ceremony in Thomond Park on May 20th. while plans are already in train for the raising of the Green Flag here in the school before the end of the school year.
During the Easter break, the alarm system in the school was extended to cover the entire building. The heating system received a major overhaul while work was carried out to bring our electrical system in line with current standards.
