On Monday 11th January 2010, Coleraine's Mayor, Councillor Sandy Gilkinson, visited Kilrea Primary to award them with their sixth Eco-Flag, the first school in Northern Ireland to gain this accolade. The members of the Eco-Committee were then invited to visit him in the Mayor's Parlour and have a tour of the Council Chambers.
The award is in recognition of all the work that has been done over the years towards conserving and preserving the environmenta dnd many thanks to all the pupils, parents and staff who have been involved in this project. A special mention must also go to Mr Crawford and the Eco-Committee for co-ordinating this latest application.
