Eco-Council

       

A group of children meet regularly with Mrs Stott to discuss how to make our school more eco friendly.
 

Last year the committee carried out the difficult task of a formal review using the Eco Schools Scotland questionnaire to see how well we were doing as a school with eco issues and practice. We asked questions about litter, food, water, energy reducing waste, transport, health and well-being, and the school grounds.  A copy of the review and the results are on the bottom of our eco board if you would like to see it.  This  is something we can now use to show where we started from and check to see if we have improved.
This year's eco council have now had the task of deciding what our action plan should be to start improving our practice as an eco school. Our Action Plans are also available for you to read on our Eco Board. We decided to focus on the following things
 
Composting all that we can from our play pieces and dinners each day.

Switching off lights and other electrical items when not in use
 

Photocopying on both sides of paper whenever possible.
Closing blinds at the end of the day to save energy, especially in the winter months.
       

We have bird feeders which we top up with peanuts and mixed seeds.

This is our compost heap which we use regularly.
