Our #andshecycles ambassadors at the Velodrome on their new bikes

The green schools ambassadors had a very busy week during the midterm break! Maedbh, Eliza, Sean, Kristians and Diane, our five climate ambassadors, headed out to the Climate Ambassador Network meeting on Thursday the 15th where they learned about different things they could do to turn the school into a more carbon neutral place. They met people from all different backgrounds and discovered how they can make an impact in the fight against climate change.

A huge congratulations goes out to three of our #andshecycles ambassadors, 3rd year Stephanie, and TY students Cerys and Lillie, for successfully applying for a €500 grant each to purchase new bikes. Lillie also learned how to cycle over the break! The girls will be truly well prepared for the female only school cycle taking place in April.
