BIG TRAVEL CHALLENGE 2020
The Green School Committee is inviting all in Scoil Naomh Cualán to take part in the BIG TRAVEL CHALLENGE 2020. We hope this challenge will encourage more pupils to enjoy the benefits of actively travelling to school in the month of February.
The aim of the challenge is to promote a sustainable mode of transport for 10 days during the month of February. Our aim is to increase the numbers of pupils walking to school. To spread the message of The Big Travel Challenge the Green-Schools committee visited each class to talk about the challenge.
We are asking pupils to make an extra special effort from Monday 10th February to Monday 25th to walk to school for TEN DAYS.
Any parent willing to help out with this initiative please let us know by calling Clare in the office on 086-0233023. It would involve walking to school in the morning time with a group of children.
