Here are our Eco Warriors:
Welcome to our 2024-2025 page.
Here you will how passionate we are about caring for God's creation. God created this world for us and provided it as a gift, it is our mission to care for it.
Step 1: See
"Our mission is to care for our common home." - Eco Warriors
Zachary, Thomas, William, Dylan, Kathleen, William, Cecilia.
Mission Statement:
Our responsibility is to make sure our school is ECO friendly. This means that we are living in a way that is not harmful to the environment and are caring for God’s world, our common home.
"...till and keep." (Gen 2:2-5)
Why?
"The world can't wait."
Our changing environment prompts us to stop and think about how we live on our planet. We are called to respond and to adopt new ways of living as Pope Francis highlights in his encyclical, Laudato Si': On the Care for our Common Home.
Step 2: Judge
As we begin our new eco journey, we started by completing an environmental review. During this, we looked into five main categories in each classroom: energy, litter, waste, school grounds and transport.
Alongside the positives, we were honest and found a few things that we must improve on as a school. We reviewed this together and created an action plan. We have split the action plan into the following three phases:
Step 3: Act
We look after our school grounds with weekly litter picking sessions. 🚮
We check the bins in all classrooms to make sure the correct items are placed in each one. 🗑
We placed red dots on electricals that must be turned off each time the classrooms are left. 💡
We encourage each class to fill in their WOW tracker every day and promote the benefits of walking to school.
