Kara Stein, 6th Year student and member of the Green Schools writes ardently about what lies ahead for Green Schools in Stratford College.

We are coming to an end of our Green Schools term and I can safely say that it has been a great year. I am delighted to have been part of this worthwhile club and I cannot stress enough its importance. We must take an active role in our school society and there is no better way than doing this than taking part in Green Schools.

We are currently working on our Energy Flag and so far we have conducted a school-wide energy survey and we are recording the meter readings. Our Green Schools Assembly was a great success and I hope we can be able to achieve a second flag.

ENCOURAGE TO CLEAN, ALWAYS THINK GREEN!

Kara Stein, 6th Year
