Special school gets third green flag for environmental programme

A GROUP of pupils in Co Tipperary have made history by becoming the first special school to be awarded a third Green Flag for programmes to help the environment.

The 43 pupils at St Anne’s Special School in Roscrea celebrated the raising of the flag yesterday with the help of Education Minister Mary Hanafin.

Their latest flag was awarded by An Taisce for a plan to conserve water, which involved the school staff, pupils and parents, from the planning through to its operation.
