North Tipperary County Council launched its 2010 Tidy Schools Competition in May, which complements the overall Tiobraid Álainn competition for towns and villages throughout the county. The Council initiated these competitions in order to create support for measures that tackle litter prevention, control and awareness at all levels of the community and also to show that our younger generations are playing their part in keeping our county clean and green.
The Tidy Schools Competition encourages both Primary and Secondary Schools in North Tipperary to battle for the title of Tidiest School in North Tipperary. The main emphasis of the competition is on litter awareness, waste management and on appreciation of our general environment.
Schools are judged according to the following criteria:
The Tidy Schools Competition 2011 is now closed. Application forms for 2012 competition will be sent to schools in March 2012.
