Team Green is
the Sixth Form’s ecological committee. We aim to improve the
environmental aspects of the school through a number of different
methods, which are decided in collaborative Team Green meetings, so that all members can contribute to the improvement of the school.
Our biggest achievement so far is
securing recycling bins for The Square to reduce the amount of general
litter we produce. We worked very hard with the county council on this
and are very pleased with our success so far. We are continuing to
research new methods to recycle.
More recently we have been aiding in the
development of the school allotment, an area in which we are trying to
allow plants and wildlife to flourish, as well as providing a gateway
for students to learn more about nature and the environment that
surrounds them. So far we have helped to make a set of new raised beds
for planting, as well as introducing a range of different currant
bushes, along with aiding in the general maintenance of the allotment.
We have also undertaken tasks such as ensuring that the form rooms within the Sixth Form have potted plants within them, to help create a more pleasant environment for students, as well as making a small contribution to the improvement of air quality around the school.
Our plans for the next academic year are as follows:
We are constantly trying to make the school the best place possible for both students and wildlife through the utilisation of the environment, and this is something we hope to continue for many years to come.
