About
Bunscoil Bhóthar na Naomh is a co‑educational primary school situated in Lismore, County Waterford, catering for Junior Infants, Senior Infants and classes 1st through 6th. The school operates a structured timetable from 9.15 am to 2.00 pm and is registered under roll number 20076V. It provides a supportive learning environment that blends the Irish language and cultural heritage with the Irish national curriculum, aiming to develop confident, inquisitive learners. A distinctive feature of the school is its long‑standing commitment to the Green Schools programme. Since 2001 the school has earned eight Green Flags, reflecting achievements in recycling, energy reduction, water conservation, travel reduction, biodiversity, waste management, global citizenship and marine stewardship. The campus includes a dedicated garden space with native plants, a “bug hotel”, a pond and a wormery, all designed to foster hands‑on environmental education and encourage biodiversity. The school’s ethos is centred on community involvement and sustainable practice, with a democratically elected Green Team representing each class from Fourth to Sixth. This collaborative approach underpins the school’s broader aim of nurturing responsible global citizens while delivering a high‑quality primary education.
