The St. Patrick’s Intermediate Eco Team meets regularly to discuss environmental issues and opportunities for progress in our school. So far, our students have tracked the use of energy, appropriate use of recycle bins, and environmental practices such as closing window blinds and clearing radiators from obstruction.
Students will be presenting at an upcoming Monday Morning Assembly to talk about their findings in the walkabouts and areas for improvement.
The Team will be doing a sweater day in March where we will turn the heat down 5 degrees, a litterless lunch week (Earth Week in April), spring cleaning in the capital, an eco-trivia quiz forhomebases, and some awareness activities at lunch during Earth Week as well.
The team also submits lesson plans related to the environment to Ontario Eco Schools as part of the certification process.
The Eco Team will also be involved in planning, towards the end of this year, a school-grounds greening project. The goal is to have a plan in place so that over the next 2-3 years we can do some planting/greening of our grounds.
