The Woodburn Eco Committee will be working very hard towards our first Green Flag. We will begin by carrying out a whole school ‘environmental audit’ which will help us to decide which two topics we will focus on alongside the compulsory topic on ‘Litter’.

Since the start of the school year we have been raising the profile of being a litter free school and we have lots of keen litter pickers to help us to achieve this. We encourage pupils to be responsible and put all of their litter into the bin (recycling when they can).

Part of our Christmas preparations will be running a campaign asking pupils to write one card per class rather than per pupil. This will help us to significantly reduce the amount of paper being used. In January we will collect and either reuse or recyclethe cards.
