PCS win Nature Hero Award.

The national awards, sponsored by Glenveagh and delivered in partnership with Biodiversity in Schools, celebrate schools across Ireland taking meaningful action to protect and enhance biodiversity while helping young people develop a greater understanding of the natural world.

The School will receive part of a  €10,000 fund towards a school garden makeover, sponsored by Glenveagh, as well as a certificate and commemorative plaque marking its achievement.

Three further schools were recognised for their outstanding efforts in this year’s awards.

The judges praised the creativity and commitment demonstrated by schools across the country, with pupils taking practical steps to create habitats, support wildlife and strengthen biodiversity within their school communities.

The Nature Hero Award supports schools in achieving their biodiversity goals and provides a national mark of excellence for those creating educational spaces that nurture a love of nature, build knowledge of Irish biodiversity and encourage local action.
