Schools

The students attending the 12 Primary and Secondary schools located in Ennis play an integral role in the ongoing activities of Ennis Tidy Towns. The committee believe strongly that their involvement is critical for the future of the town.

The primary focus of Ennis Tidy Towns is to instil a sense of civic pride and social conscious among the young people attending our local schools.

The important role that the schools play in raising awareness of environmental issues is recognised by Ennis Tidy Towns Committee. Four Ennis Primary Schools and one Secondary school have achieved at least one ‘Green Flag’ with many more on their 2nd and 3rd flag.

Launch of Bin Your Gum Campaign

Environmental Patrol Wardens regularly visit schools in the town, to educate, raise awareness and to encourage school children to keep their school and surrounding area clean and litter free. An 10 minute DVD was produced by Ennis Town Council, Ennis Tidy Towns, 3 primary schools and Westfields Residents Group. The DVD aims to increase awareness of litter in the town centre.

To date we have been overwhelmed by the initiatives undertaken by the students and supported by their teachers and parents and would like to congratulate all for their hard work and dedication.
