Being an Eco Warrior is a fantastic opportunity for our children to get involved in how our school is run, while helping to protect our planet. It allows them to express their ideas, influence important decisions, and represent the views of their classmates.
Our Eco Warriors take on a range of important responsibilities, including:
Monitoring recycling and advising others on which bin to use
Keeping an eye on energy use around school, making sure lights and devices are switched off when not needed
Encouraging our community to recycle and reduce waste
Taking part in eco discussions and feeding back key messages to their classes
They also regularly complete litter picks around school and in the local area, helping keep our community clean and cared for. With Mrs Madigan’s support, they are empowered to share ideas, pass on feedback from other pupils and staff, and lead by example.
