Green Schools
Springdale National School has been involved with the Green Schools Programme for over 8 years. The whole school community is dedicated to making our school and surrounding areas a beautiful and environmentally friendly place to be.
We have been awarded flags on the themes of Litter and Waste, Energy, Water, Transport and Biodiversity.
This year we are working towards our flag for ‘Global Citizenship – Litter and Waste’
Global citizenship is the term for social, environmental, and economic actions of individuals and communities who recognise that every person is a citizen of the world.
It is also about how we use and share the earth’s resources fairly and uphold the human rights of all.
A global citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the wider world – and their place in it. They are a citizen of the world. They take an active role in their community and work with others to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer.
