Green Schools Update

January 27, 2016

Currently we are in the process of obtaining our Green Flag for Litter and Waste.  We have had a huge response with the committee growing each week.  

Members of Green School Committee
Banna skins for the worms
Watching over the wormery!

As a group we have identified keys areas to combat litter and waste in our schools:

  1. Set up a wormery for food waste
  2. Keep our two bin system in place
  3. Raise Awareness in our school and community
  4. Reduce Paper by using Google Drive

So far we have:

  • successfully reduced our paper consumption by almost 50%
  • set up a wormery
  • made students aware- surveying a large sample of whole school and 1st years have designed posters for a competition
  • … and made new friends!

On February 8th we will be hosting a compost master class for our green schoolers and also many other fun competitions as the year goes by.
