ENVIRONMENTALLY-conscious students from a Limerick secondary school have been recognised for their efforts to conserve water.
Patrick Cagney, Aoife English, and Ronan Currams from Coláiste na Trócaire Community College, Rathkeale, took the top prize for their project in the inaugural Make A Switch competition.
The initiative by Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board promotes student-led climate action across the region.
The winning students received a €1,000 Outdoor Education and Training Centre voucher and €1,000 for sustainability efforts at their school.
The group also took home a unique handcrafted trophy made from recycled materials by artists Simon Donnelly and PJ Hehir who are instructors at the ETB’s College of Further Education and Training Shannon and Kilrush campuses.
