The St. Paul’s Eco-Council consists of students from Year 2 to 6 who are passionate about caring for their local area and learning more about wider environmental issues.  We are a member of the Eco-Schools initiative, which is an international programme of environmental education that aims to “empower students to be the change our sustainable world needs by engaging them in fun, action-orientated, and socially responsible learning.” 

The Eco-Council allows the students to ‘Shine like stars in the world’, as they have ownership over what they do, such as:  

• A litter pick of the local area.
• Joining the Terracycle Recycling Scheme for the benefit of the school and the wider community. 
• Providing an Eco-Council ‘Tip of the week’ on the school newsletter to encourage others to be more ‘green’.
• Encouraging their classmates to recycle paper, pens and switch off lights and other electrical items which are not in use.
