Nine schools in Killarney have focused more on energy awareness thanks to a novel initiative spearheaded by Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce with generous support from Kerry County Council’s Community Support Fund.

The finance provided helped the Chamber to purchase televisions, wall brackets and meters for each location . The schoolsbenefittong from the funding are Killarney Community College, St Oliver’s Primary School, St Brigid’s Presentation Secondary School, St Brendan’s College, The Monastery, Gaelscoil Faithleann, Holy Cross Mercy, Scoil Bhride Loreto and Lissivigeen National School.
The Community Support Fund funds were used to purchase meters for each school and these have been installed by energy management specialists Acutrace.
Televisions and wall brackets were also installed for each school to display the energy usage which is very educational for teachers and pupils.
Holy Cross Mercy National School chose to spend its allocation on a separate biodiversity project to purchase outdoor school flower signage, featuring a trail around the garden which is a great learning tool for children.
The signs also come with matching nature trail sheets as well as flower bundle digital resource packs, including classroom display cards and worksheets
The overall aim of Kerry County Council’s Community Support Fund is to provide flexible, financial support to community groups and local organisations who wish to undertake projects which will improve the range and quality of community projects and facilities within their areas.
Acutrace is the country’s leading energy measurement and sustainability company which helps businesses and communities to reduce their running costs through energy saving technology.
