The Green Schools Committee are working under a new slogan since early this year - "Our Planet, You Plan It". The Green Schools Committee feel it is catchier and will encourage students to think Green. The theme for this year's Awards Ceremony is to celebrate the Green Schools Committee award of a second Green Flag in May 2015.
Earlier this year we changed our Green Schools slogan. Previously it was 'encourage to clean always think green' it is now 'our planet you plan it' we feel this new slogan is catchier and encourages students to join Green Schools and help protects the planet's future.
