Wildlife Group goes Planting

The Wildlife Group has been out planting bulbs and native species trees. Their next step is to organise some temporary fencing to alert the grounds maintenance team to the baby trees and growing plants.

Watch Out

9 Bearnagh has just launched its Eco campaign in support of the Green Flag Group. If the Green Flaggers need a survey done or a campaign launched, 9 Bearnagh will do the leg work. So far they plan to focus on making sure our outdoor recycling starts to really work. They also want to do some research to see if it really matters if we don't take the tops off our plastic bottles before we recycle. They will be organising the 4.00pm check on teachers' rooms and will check our fuel use and the separation of our indoor rubbish. Watch out!

Eco Group Tuesdays

Our Eco Group now meets on Tuesdays in room 121 to fire ahead and win our Green Flag. Be there!

Yo We've Won our Silver Award

I am delighted to announce that we have just won our Silver Eco Schools Award. The Award is of course for our wholeschool efforts, but special mention must be made of year 10 who did all the surveys and checking and auditing last term. We will soon present the Award to Shimna and put a framed copy up in the entrance hall so that everyone who comes into the college will know the high value we put on preserving our environment. We are delighted that staff member Stephen Hanna is coming on board to work with our Eco Group to put together the bid for our Green Flag. Well done everybody.
