Summary
Two Limerick schools just smashed it at the Green Schools awards—Scoil Ailbhe and Glenroe Community National School—earning regional Water School of the Year honors for turning water conservation into student-led action. At Scoil Ailbhe, older kids mentor younger ones through a student committee, slashed water use, and even deployed “Leak Detectives” with bottle-filled toilet tanks. Glenroe made water-saving part of daily life, with student audits, tap monitoring, fun events like a “Walk for Water” and a “5 Minute Shower Showdown,” and their own “Leak Squad.” An Taisce praised these young leaders for proving real environmental change starts in classrooms—and inspiring communities to care for water, from school taps to the wider world.
