Eco-School Committee
Our first Eco-School Committee has now been formed. Each class voted for two representatives to take their views about the environment of the school to meetings.
Koalas: Samuel and Helena
Polar Bears: Allina and Flo
Lemurs: Frazer and Poppy
Chimpanzees: Camilla and Toby
Orangutans: William and Clarita (Joint chair)
The first task for the committee was to carry out an environmental audit of the school. Here the classes discussed how good the school was across 10 different areas: biodiversity, energy, global citizenship, healthy living, litter, marine conservation, school grounds, transport, waste and water. At our next meeting we will decide which areas need to be improved based on these results and we will set up an action plan to address these issues. At this point the whole of the school community will be invited to take part so look out for updates on what is happening.
The wonderful thing about Eco-Schools is that it is child led. The children make the decisions and decide on what needs to change. It will be very exciting to see what paths we take!
