The students of Hazelwood College held a Green Day, with an ambition to earn their next Green Flag.They started their day with a school cycle. Escorted by the local Gardai, over 60 Hazelwood students set out on their trip, cycling a ring of 13km. Teachers, Mr Finn, Ms O Connor and Mr Fealy also took to their bikes with Ms Corkery behind on motivation and breakdown control!!;On returning they recieved a healthy breakfast bar and some juice. This was a huge success, the students got a great sense of fun and achievment from the cycle and have reported back, that they have been cycling more in their free time, to the shops and to their friends house reducing their carbon footprint and been kinder to the earth.

The next step for the Green Schools was getting their message accross on what the students can do to make a difference to the energy levels been used in the school. Abbey Demsey, Ciara Fitzgibbon, Stephen Hourigan and David Finn gave very impressive and convincing presentations to the students about switching off the lights when they are not needed, and many more pointers on how to cut back on their use of energy. Hopefully they will keep in mind all they learned to help the Green School in their ambition of achieving a ‘greener Hazelwood College’.

The students finished off their hard days work by taking part in the National Spring Clean. With their kits and gloves the Green Schools Committee set off picking up rubbish from all around the school grounds and in the village of Dromcollogher. Recycling everything in to the appropiate bins.

Last but not least, over the past number of weeks they have been running a Poster and Slogan campaign where Art students came up with slogans for their Green Code and designed posters to help create awareness throughout the school about energy saving . The winners were announced, 1st Place: Alannah Matthews,2nd Place: Caroline O Flynn, Roisin Noonan and3rd place: Selina Keily. Well done girls and Well done to everyone who participated with the green schools committee making the day a success.
