Looking after our Beautiful Planet!

“May the struggles and concern for the planet never take away the joy of our hope.”
Pope Francis

Looking after our planet and learning about how our lives impact on the natural world is so important. The children are taught to respect the world and as they journey through school they discover just how much human activity affects the planet. They are taught to problem solve and seek answers to environmental issues.

At the beginning of every academic year the children in Year 5 are asked to apply to be a school Eco-Councillor. This year, we have an enthusiastic team of ten Eco- Warriors. In November, the new Eco-Council meets to reflect on ways we can improve our environmental impact.  We think about the following 9 areas of school life- which can be improved to make the school a greener place. These areas are: Energy Litter, Waste/Recycling Water Transport Healthy Living Biodiversity School Grounds Global Perspective

Meet our 2023-24 Eco-council team, Year 5.This hardy group of children., have embarked on their new mission from God to be Stewards of the Earth. Within school, they have already been busy, litter- picking, composting and switching off lights. It is the aim of the team this year, to support local projects and work within the community in our bid to do Gods calling. The whole school would like to thank the past Eco-council members from previous years, they never failed in their duties throughout the year- thank you! We will keep you posted as we set sustainability challenges throughout the year.

Keep Reducing Reusing and Recycling!!
