National Tree Week – 7th-13th March

NATIONAL TREE WEEK

7^TH – 13^TH MARCH 2016

 Dun Laoghaire Cathaoirleach Barry Saul (Class of 1995) visited the College last Friday morning, 11^th March 2016 to plant a tree in the College grounds as part of National Tree Week.

In his address, he spoke fondly of his time at Blackrock and in particular, recalled the early years of Mr Campbell’s Greenwatch Magazine which encouraged an interest in and a concern for the well-being of our Planet.  He was also shown one of our 3 campus biodiversity areas.

I thank Mr Copeland and our GREEN SCHOOLS’ COMMITTEE of:

James Huggard, Stephen Rooney (both 6^th Year)

Conor Bailey (5^th Year)

Josh Warren, Hugo Murray (both Transition Year)

Michael McDonald, Conor O’Neill, Rhys Rowland (all 3^rd Year)

and Will Boyle (2^nd Year) for their organisation of this event.
