On Tuesday 26th February two Eco Schools Assessors visited Holy Trinity to carry out the Eco Schools assessment. During their visit they spoke to the Eco Councils on Mill street and on Cornagrade. They talked about how the Eco council helps our school environment, how we keep ourselves healthy and how we try to reduce the schools Carbon Footprint.
A group of pupils from P5 recited poems which they had written about key Eco areas e.g. litter, recycling and the dangers of plastic. This was followed by a PowerPoint presentation from the KS2 Eco Council and a talk with the KS1 Eco Council. The children highlighted the work of the Eco Council in keeping our school tidy and reducing energy use within the school. They talked about our Eco Code and about our work with Sustrans (a UK transport charity which makes it easier for people to walk and cycle to school) to reduce our school’s carbon footprint and keep ourselves healthy.
Mrs Gormley, our WAU Co-ordinator, was delighted with the news that we have now received our second Eco Schools’ flag. Well done to everyone in the school and especially to Mrs Gormley and the hardworking Eco Council.
