The weather was great for our National Spring Clean event to clean up the South beach in Greystones. The committee were out in strength and we were very lucky to have an expert on hand to show us exactly what to do. A BIG thank you to John Harrington from Tidy Towns. We collected plastics, papers and general waste and John very kindly disposed and recycled them for us. Thank you too to the teachers who helped out and to the general public for cheering us on. Photos to follow.
Hi there,
Zac and Julia here from the Green Committee. We really enjoyed going down to the beach to collect litter. Thank you for bringing us.
We also appreciated the advice we got from John from Tidy Towns. When we found a large round wooden object, and weren’t sure whether it was rubbish or not, he told us what to do with it.
But the most exciting thing is that we just didn’t pick up litter, we saw really interesting things on the beach like fish egg cases and sea weed, empty crab shells, interesting pebbles and periwinkle shells.

Hi Zac and Julia,
Thank you for your comment. Yes it was great fun and we also did great work cleaning up the beach too. We are so lucky to have our school so close to the sea. I think we’ll have to do another trip soon to find out all about the wildlife and species that live there and how keeping their environment clean protects the biodiversity.
Thanks again!
