BSRAC new Green School initiatives Walk on Wednesdays and Fill it for Féile.
The first initiative is Walk on Wednesdays, which will begin next Wednesday the 11th of February. On this day each week, pupils are encouraged to walk to school where possible. Children who cycle or use scooters are also included. The aim is to reduce traffic congestion outside the school and promote active, healthy travel.
The class with the highest participation each week will be awarded the Golden Boot, along with a small treat at the teacher’s discretion.
The second initiative is Fill it for Féile, a bottle and can collection scheme to support Féile O’Sullivan, a young girl from West Cork who was seriously injured in a farming accident. Each class will have a collection box, and families are invited to contribute one bottle or can per week if possible. This initiative promotes recycling while also helping to raise funds for Féile O’Sullivan.
