Abi Grainger (TY) explains what the Green Schools committee have been doing since school started this year, with the help of 1st Year and 3rd Year students.
Recently Green Schools has started back with the new school year and is starting strong, with help from the current 3rd years, who are basing their C.S.P.E Action Project around getting the school new bins.
The committee meetings are held in the English room during lunch time on Wednesdays. The meetings are open to all years from 1st to 6th.
Our school's Green Code is "Encourage to clean, always think Green". We are trying to stress this this year by starting with a new poster campaign to help remind our fellow students.
Thanks to the 3rd years we have a weekly bin count. This is kept on the display board outside the Hall so the students can be aware of the school's current recycling-to-black bin ratio.
Green Schools co-ordinator is Ms. Donohoe and she speaks to the staff on our behalf when or if problems arise.
Green Schools has decided to start the year off well by giving the 1st years a cross-curricular project as part of their Art education. They will not only be learning but they will help raise awareness throughout the school.
