Murch Junior an Eco School

What is Eco-Schools?

Eco Schools is a programme that encourages us to care for our school environment by becoming aware of sustainable development issues. These include Litter, Waste Minimisation, Transport, Healthy Living, Energy, Water, School Grounds and Global Citizenship.

What does sustainable development mean?

Sustainable development means meeting the needs of today’s people without affecting the needs of future generations. We can all be sustainable and environmentally aware by making sure we do simple things like turning off televisions and computers rather than leaving them on standby.

The Awards

The first two levels of the Eco-Schools award are the Bronze and Silver certificates. The top level of award is the Eco-Schools Green Flag.

The Eco Committee at Murch Junior School

At Murch Junior we have an Eco Committee in place to help the school achieve the Eco School awards. The Eco Committee meet at least once a month to discuss how to make the school more sustainable.
