Yesterday we were delighted to complete our Swift Bird Boxes Project. Our bird boxes were generously sponsored by Sorcha O’ Toole- GRETB Letterfrack. We had fantastic guidance from Swift Conservation Ireland expert, Lynda Huxley and Lynda did an informative talk with the whole school. Thanks to Cleggan Tidy Towns who also kindly sponsored the cost of the cherry picker. Special thanks to Claude Reichard for being a driving force behind this project and we are very grateful to him for his wonderful organisation and co-ordination. We look forward to welcoming the swift birds to Claddaghduff N.S! #greenschools

We are currently working on Global Citizenship- Travel theme with the Green Schools. On Tuesday, we had a visit with our Green Schools Coordinator Lorraine and the senior room pupils conducted a ‘Travel Speed Survey’ of cars passing the school. 20 cars were surveyed and in general most were within the 50km speed limit. A couple were over the speed limit!
