Students at St. Aidan's High School in Derrylin have opened an outdoor art exhibition.

The exhibition showcases the students' talent, featuring pieces that reflect the school's focus on the environment and sustainability.

The artwork, displayed at the school gates, includes depictions of native animals, insects, plants, flowers, landscapes, seascapes at sunset, and farm vehicles.

The students' use of colour, texture, pattern, and appreciation of the local environment through pencil, paint, and pastel was praised.

The school has partnered with Encirc over the past few years to promote biodiversity and sustainability.

This exhibition is the latest initiative in their ongoing relationship.

Encirc's sustainability director, Fiacre O'Donnell, facilities manager Ciaran Creighan, and reception manager Sheila Curry, attended the launch of the exhibition.

Mr. O'Donnell said: “This is another brilliant collection of work by the pupils of St. Aidan’s, their talent and creativity is exceptional.

"What’s more the messaging about the environment and what we need to do to tackle climate change is also important.

"Indeed, the school is doing great work in this area, and we are delighted to be partnering with them to help change attitudes on the need to protect the environment.

"I would recommend to anyone to come down and look at these brilliant paintings.”
