Pupils from Gaelscoil na Laochra in Birr are officially environmental heroes having been victorious in a recent competition "Found on the Ground" run by MEP Grace O' Sullivan.

The objective of the environmental awareness competition was to challenge pupils in Ireland to create a piece of art using only waste materials from home or school.

Pupils from Gaelscoil na Laochra created a piece named "An Páirc Spraoi", inspired by the wonderful playground in Birr Castle. They recreated the playground including the treehouse! As a reward for their efforts, the prizewinning pupils will be taken on a school tour.

The enterprising pupils and their teacher are delighted to be recognised for their efforts. Meanwhile, Gaelscoil na Laochra was awarded their second green flag last summer and are currently working towards their third.
