Green School - Energy

... (continued from previous page) devise ways to promote the conservation of energy.

Some of the many innovations introduced:

- an environmental tax for all groups using school facilities

- a vegetable garden to harness the sun’s energy

- printing licences, which require a potential licence holder to take an exam first

- purchase of reflective backs for the school radiators

- an energy motto: “Every little difference makes a big difference”

Funds were raised for these activities through the designing and production of our own Christmas cards. One part of the action plan to be carried forward is the acquisition of a wind turbine to produce our own electricity. For more information on our energy work, then please click on the link below
