What is an Eco Council?

Our Eco Council is a group of pupils who meet each month to discuss Eco-friendly and environmental issues within school which prepares children to live their future lives with consideration for global issues. All classes have representatives on our council. 

Why do we have an Eco Council?

-To ensure our school is Eco-friendly and prepares pupils to live with reflection of the environment.

-To make sure each class has a platform to voice their opinions.

-To discuss and raise issues related to the environment.

How do I become an Eco Councillor?

At the beginning of each year, pupils can apply to become an Eco Councillor.  Pupils complete an application form and present themselves to the pupils in their class with the reasons why they would make a good councillor.  Then pupils then vote for their favourite eco councillor.

What happens in the meetings?

We begin each year by completing an environmental review to find out our school's successes and areas for improvement. We then use this to create an action plan for the upcoming year. Throughout the year each Eco Councillor meets with their class to discuss ideas about changes and improvements to the school. The issues are then raised in meetings and Eco Councillors discuss how to move forward with these ideas.
