Green-Schools is a long-term environment education and awareness programme where schools, contribute to the sustainable development of the County for both current and future generations. Schools undertake various activities on each of the following themes: Litter and Waste, Energy Conservation, Water Conservation, Transport and Healthy Living and are awarded the Green Flag Award.

Litter & Waste

In 2013 we were delighted to be awarded our first Green Flag for Litter & Waste. Litter & Waste is the first theme of the Green-Schools programme. The theme is a great starting point for encouraging a sense of personal pride and responsibility in tackling two visible issues in schools and communities.

Energy

In 2018 we were delighted to be awarded our second Green Flag for Energy. Energy is the second theme that schools undertake. This theme looks at the steps which can be taken to reduce energy consumption and raise awareness of climate change issues.
​

Water

We are currently working on the Water Theme. Water is one of the core themes of the Green-Schools programme. The Water theme looks at developing awareness around water conservation and how to effectively manage this important resource in our schools and at home.

St. Daigh’s Green Code

We are a school from Inniskeen
And we want to keep it green,
Save our Water,
Hear us shout,
It’s time to sort the wasting out!

We think water’s really cool,
It’s time to use it less in school.

We are a school from Inniskeen
And we want to keep it green,
Save our Water,

It’s time to sort the wasting out!

In May of 2017 the Green-Schools Committee got together and wrote two poems for the Tidy Towns Committee. The poems were printed on two benches beside the River Fane.

What do I hear?
A gentle breeze blowing leaves
Trees rustling in the wind
Every bird is singing as the
River Fane splashes over the rocks


River Fane races through our village
Inniskeen is a beautiful place
Various flowers growing along the river bank
Eager fishermen smile as I walk past
Ripples in the water catch my eye
