Green Code Entries
We held a creative Green Code Competition. The winner was chosen by the school community and will be our motto until we achieve the GC Marine Flag hoefully in 2025!
QR codes below will take you to the wining entry from 2021 and the Recycling Kahoot as well as a video on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Action Plan 2021-2023
Litter Picking
Our Classes take turns to go litter picking in the school yard and even on the road outside. In one 500 metre stretch of road we found over 3 black bags worth of rubbish, most of it could have been recycled!
The WORST we find are
PLASTIC DRINKS BOTTLES!
BAGS WITH DOG POO IN THEM!
ALCOHOL containers!
Energy
It is very important to save energy. This year we are going for Green Flag number 7.
Remember
Turn off the lights.
Turn off switches when not in use.
Save energy at home.
Install Energy Saving lightbulbs.
Global Citizenship
Your energy choices have an effect on the world & it is safe to turn on the lights at night but then turn them off.
Wasting energy is contributing to Climate Change.
Most electricity is made by burning fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal.
Wildfires, floods, droughts are all caused by increases in the temperature.
How can we help?
To save energy in school use less electricity.
Use less power!
Only boil enough water that you need in the kettle.
Only buy items with a triple A energy rating.
Switch to electric cars.
Climate Change
Climate change can cause terrible problems for nature.
Mind the Beaches
Plastic is a problem for our oceans. Make sure to reduce use of plastic. Recycle or dispose of it correctly.
Recycling Drive:
Every day each class sorts and bring their recycling to the wheelie bins. We check to see if they have recycled it properly. We set up a safe passage with cones to the bins. We make an announcement to say we are ready to sort.
We are helping and we think it is working. Each class has gotten better at sorting their waste. Every day we have to take out less and less of the wrong items.
The worst items are the dirty yogurt cartons, food, soft plastic wrappers.
In the staff room there was a LEMON in the recycling.
Dirty Food
Wash them first!
Soft wrappers
Check them but they are not usually recycled.
Reuse the bags
Take them away and reuse the bags!
