St Martin's Primary School
Eco-School
The Eco-Council works to ensure that the school is an environmentally friendly place for all and that everyone is actively doing their part for the good of the earth. The school is part of the Eco-Schools programme and in June 2022 we achieved the Green Flag and the status of being an Eco-friendly school.
We aim to achieve the Green Flag again in June 2024. We have undertaken an Environmental Review of the whole school and put together an Action Plan for the year.
We are currently working on:
- Energy
- Healthy Living
- Litter
- School Grounds/Biodiversity
Get excited for !
The Lough Erne Landscape Partnership, in partnership with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and FermanAware (Fermanagh Trust), are hosting Fermanagh's biggest ever litter pick for a second year and we need YOUR help!
Taking place ANYTIME between Friday 26th and Saturday 27th April 2024, you can get involved on water or on land. We are aiming to cover all of Fermanagh, so whether you are part of a local community group and want to keep your area clean, a school who wants to teach children the importance of keeping Fermanagh's natural heritage and landscape looked after, or a resident who wants to tidy their street, then this is for you!
All you need to do is sign up! Let us know where you plan to litter pick and we will add you to our map of Fermanagh.
If you took part in last years litter pick, and chose to keep your equipment - let us know if you are running low on anything and we will restock you. If its your first time joining The Big BIG Fermanagh Litter Pick, we will provide the equipment for you to take part (including litter pickers, hi-vis, first aid kits and bin bags!)
