Eco Cheesecake

I got a fabulous surprise on Tuesday - a plateful of delicious, organic, chocolate cheesecake confected by Stephen as a reward for our wonderful Eco group who have worked hard all year on bringing to life the plans for our grounds. Thank you so much.

We are a Gold Award School

A wonderful surprise today! A beautiful wooden plaque arrived from the Woodland Trust, conferring on us the honour of becoming one of their first Gold Award Schools for the tree planting our Wildlife Group and Eco Group have been doing throughout the year. thanks in particular to Derek Bailey, Stephen Hanna and to Jean Forbes of our Board of Governors, who drew up our grounds plan.

Bogs Away

After ages of trying to work out the logistics of installing Thunderboxes at Haughian House, we got an email from a much more normal supplier of composting toilets, and we are now going to get ourselves one of them.  The composting toilet will fit neatly into one of the wee outhouses joined onto the cottage, and will be convenient and easy to manage.  The scouting party heads out next Wednesday to measure up, and we hope to take delivery in July.  It would be really wonderful if we could have students out and using the cottage from September.  We'll also be putting up the solar lights and fitting the new water butt.  A team of Martin McParland, Pat Lenny and Robbie Mulholland at taking on the job.
