Green Schools have been busy since we began back in September, after the triumph of our Transport flag last year we have started work on our new flag: Litter and Waste Global Citizenship. This means we have been working on posters for the bins, planning a litter pick and much more. You can see one of these posters in the image above, drawn by a first year student.
We have also been working on applications for new leaders. The current leaders are going to participate in training at the start of March as well. Our Polytunnel is starting to get going with planting taking place soon. Any gardening tool or seed donations are much welcome!
