2nd Year student, Greg Brenner, attended a Green Schools Water Conservation Flag training session in late November. He reports back on the training they received.

On Thursday, 26th November, Ms Donohoe, myself and three others were at a Water/Green Schools event at the Westbury Hotel. There were only a couple of other schools, each with about 4 or 5 students each. We got information on how to get the Water Conservation Flag, while still maintaining the flags we currently have (Energy and Waste) and how to check for leaks in the pipes.
