Green Committee
The Manor House School Green group was set up in order to foster greater awareness of environmental issues in school and the community. So far, the group has had hugh success in raising the profile of a greener school environment.Only recently,delegates from the international congress of National Trust visited the school and were very impressed with what they saw.The green committee is composed of students from all years in school and is overseen by members of staff. The green group meets every Tuesday lunchtime where they discuss new projects and initiatives for the school.
An taisce works very closely with the group as part of the green schools programme. Every two years, the school works towards another Green flag which is awarded by An Taisce. So far,the school has been awarded Green Flags for Recycling, Energy and Water. This year the Green Group is working towards a new green flag for travel and a new campaign has already begun in order to achieve this, a new cycle shed has been ordered for the school and 1st and 4th year students are taking part in the bike start programme from Dublin city council.
