Pamela Hanna from Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council came in to speak to our P4s about Litter Awareness. She talked about protecting our environment and preserving our community. We looked at the damages to wildlife and how our community should look! Our pupils were informed about what our Council do to stop people littering and the message of what we can do to be create less litter was talked about.

Now its up to us to 'PASS IT ON.'

One of the recent suggestions at a School Eco Council meeting was to provide a plastic recycling bin to sit alongside our 'Fruit Stop' area, managed by Primary 7s. This means that any pupil purchasing an item which contains recyclable plastic has a place to dispose of their plastic waste.

Last year we took part in a Litter Less Campaign, part of a joint initiative of the Wrigley Company Foundation and FEE. We've decided to take part in the campaign this year, although our focus is now on paper and recycling.

Our P6s have already been around all of the classrooms and resources areas emptying their paper recycle bins and monitoring how much paper we are actually recycling.

If items could be brought into school and placed in/alongside the bags set out in the Mall from Monday 25 November to Wednesday 04 December this would be greatly appreciated (Any donations of electronics should be directly to the School Office).
