On Friday morning, 3rd March, students from 1st through to 3rd Year participated in a Water Forum organised by Green Schools. Guest speakers came in and organised activities and thought-provoking discussions throughout the morning. A number of students explain what some of the activities that they were involved in:
"We had to do different exercises. For example in one of the exercises environmental headlines were put on different tables.

Ross Smith, (3rd Year)

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
