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.
