Eco-Schools Award
The Bannockburn Green Team is delighted to announce that our school has received
the Eco Schools Silver Award. This has been largely due to recent efforts
initiated and sustained by pupils and staff throughout the school. We have been
aiming to reduce litter and to minimise landfill by recycling paper, bottle and
cans.
The Green Team hope to build on this success by tackling other topics (such as
biodiversity/energy/transport/health promotion/global footprint) in the
initiative which will lead to gaining the prestigious Green Flag. Further
information can be found on the Eco Schools Scotland website.
Visit
On Wednesday 12th November, Mr. Cortopazzi from Eco Schools-Scotland came to
visit the Green Team. There was a good turnout from members. Mr. Cortopazzi
talked about running a successful group and gave us many helpful tips and ideas
on raising awareness across the school. The talk was very beneficial and has
helped us on our way. The Green Team would like to thank him for coming along
and for bringing various recycled goodies with him.
Recycle Bins
Last week, classrooms in the school were issued with new bins for recycling
plastic bottles and cans. The HQ (Greenhouse) will be the central point for
collection. A rota will give classes an opportunity to empty their bins. This
will mean that that less rubbish will be going to the landfill!
