We are currently working towards becoming an Eco-School! To gain this award we need to work on three of the ten strands during each year. The ten strands are:

• Biodiversity
• Energy
• Global Citizenship
• Healthy Living
• Litter
• Marine
• School Grounds
• Transport
• Waste
• Water

The School Council are doing a great job working as our Eco-Council this year and have done a major audit to find out which of the ten topics we need to concentrate on. They found out that we were weakest in these three areas - so these are our focus for this year!

• Waste
• Marine (single-use plastics)
• Energy

We are now working on auditing our energy use, collecting up plastic milk bottles to make into a sculpture to raise awareness of how much plastic we throw away, and composting our fruit and veg snack leftovers.
