In 2012 Martinstown NS applied for our first Green Flag from Green Schools Ireland. The Green Schools Programme covers different aspects of the environment:
- Litter and Waste
- Energy
- Water
- Travel
- Biodiversity
- Global Citizenship
The school has been awarded Green Flags for its committed work on Litter & Waste, Water, Energy and Global Citizenship. The school committee is currently working towards a new flag based on the area of Travel.

Green Flag 2023 Update
We are currently applying to get our Green Schools Biodiversity Flag.
The students recently hosted a Day of Action on Monday 6th of March, whereby each child made and wore
a creation or costume based on the theme of Biodiversity.
