I've not been online a lot recently and this is part of the reason why..............thought you may like an update.
The School where I work is now the first senior school in our education authority to be awarded the ‘Green Flag’ from the organisation Eco-Schools. I’ve written about this before but for those who still don’t know what Eco-Schools is; it’s an international organisation for schools aimed at raising awareness of and supporting action to protect our environment. I am the eco-schools co-ordinator for our school and the ‘Green Flag’’ is the award every school aspires too. I am so proud of these kids, they recycle just about any thing and evey thing that can be recycled from the school and they have spent hours planting and tending our gardening projects. We will recieve a 'real' flag in the post very soon,but untill then the kids made lots of small green paper flags and ran around the school telling every one we had passed our assessment.
Every thing you could ever possibly want to know about Eco-Schools can be found here

Obviously I can’t name the kids or show the photographs of them, but we were in a couple of the local newspapers and one of the newspapers can be found online. You may find this particular link interesting.
