Eco Council
What is Eco Council?
Eco Council is a group of children who meet each half term to discuss eco friendly and environmental issues within school which prepares children to live their future lives with consideration for global issues. There are two eco councilors from each class from Year 2 to Year 6. They were elected by their own classes.
Why do we have an Eco Council?
- -To ensure our school is eco-friendly and prepares children to live with reflection of the environment.
