Sustainability & Green Team
At Presentation Secondary School Clonmel, sustainability is more than a goal – it is a way of life. Our Green Team empowers students to become environmental leaders by promoting positive action within our school and wider community. Since its establishment, the team has played a central role in driving environmental awareness and innovation.
From achieving Green Flag status and promoting waste reduction and recycling, to supporting biodiversity projects and renewable energy initiatives, students have consistently demonstrated their commitment to creating a greener future. Today, the Green Team is involved in a wide range of projects, including the development of our outdoor classroom and polytunnel, biodiversity education programmes, climate action initiatives, and hands-on sustainability activities.
These experiences encourage students to connect with nature, develop practical skills, and make informed choices that benefit both people and the planet. Working together, our students and staff continue to foster a culture of environmental responsibility, ensuring that sustainability remains at the heart of school life while inspiring positive change for future generations.
Our Outdoor Classroom and Biodiversity Area provides students with a unique learning environment where education extends beyond the walls of the traditional classroom. Designed to encourage curiosity, creativity, and a deeper connection with nature, this space allows students to engage in hands-on learning across a variety of subjects.
The area has become a thriving hub for biodiversity, featuring native planting, pollinator-friendly habitats, and outdoor learning spaces that support local wildlife while enhancing the school environment. Students actively participate in maintaining and developing the area, gaining valuable knowledge about ecosystems, conservation, and environmental stewardship.Whether conducting scientific investigations, exploring sustainability topics, participating in wellbeing activities, or simply enjoying learning in the fresh air, students benefit from an environment that promotes both academic growth and an appreciation of the natural world.
The Outdoor Classroom reflects Presentation Secondary School Clonmel’s commitment to fostering environmental awareness and providing meaningful opportunities for students to learn from, and care for, the world around them.
