Waringstown Primary School

Primary 7- Zero Waste Champions Programme

This year we are very excited to be a pilot school for the Zero Waste Champions Programme. Their vision is to educate and equip young people to become change makers at this crucial time in the Climate Emergency.   The programme aims to embed the Circular Economy in schools across Northern Ireland, providing young people with knowledge about the Circular Economy and designing waste out of their schools. 

This week Primary 7 Mrs Humphrey’s class welcomed representatives from Northern Ireland Resources Network and Ostrero (a Scottish based Circular Economy organisation) into school.

The pupils were introduced to the term Circular Economy and discussed their knowledge and behaviour with regards to waste reduction.  They then took part in a practical session designing and creating a bag using scrap materials.  The creativity was wonderful to see and all pupils were really engaged in the task.  They are now looking forward to the next workshop which will take place in Term 2.
