Eco-Schools

The children of St Joseph’s care deeply about the environmental issues and wish to make a positive change in the environment around them. The Eco-Schools NI programme is a registered charity which provides an ideal way for fostering environmental awareness in the entire school in a way that links to the curriculum. We aim to empower young people to make positive decisions and become change makers for an environmentally friendly world.
