Today Clontuskert’s students presented their Climate Action project at Galway Science and Technology Festival. Check out highlights from the day.

Thanks to staff, parents and students who all travelled to the Bailey Allen Hall in the University of Galway to share our work.

Learn more about the project here:

Climate Change is a massive problem.
What are you doing about it?
In Clontuskert we want change.

One small change would be to ban plastic packaging in supermarkets.
Let’s start with the Fruit and Veg Aisle.
Why do we need plastic on fruit and veg at all? It already has its own natural packaging!!!

France banned fruit and veg packaging from January 2022.
Why can’t we do the same?

We are calling on the Irish government and all of our supermarkets and shops.
Ban plastic on fruit and veg!

Today the Senior Room began the task of planting the seeds we have been growing over the past month in the school garden.

The students have grown vegetables from seeds and today we transplanted them in the school garden.

Thanks to Clontuskert Parents Association who fertilised and covered the garden over the winter ❄️ we had a very quick job to make our drills and plant our vegetables.

We have planted carrots, courgettes, peppers so far!

Well done to 4th, 5th and 6th class for harvesting and thanks to Ms. Feehily and all the students for their work last year on the plot. 🥕 🥔 🥕 🧅

We hope all of our families enjoy some vegetables for dinner today!
