Our School ‘Eco’ Council are inviting you to take part in another competition, which is to create a new ECO CODE.

This year, we would like our ECO CODE to be made as a character (which will be used as an ECO Council logo and replace the one on the top left of this note).

What is an ECO CODE?

• Your Eco-Code should be your mission statement. It should demonstrate, in a clear and imaginative way, your school's core values and commitment towards improving its environmental performance and striving towards a sustainable future.

Competition details:

• In your own time, create an ECO CODE CHARACTER (and their Mission Statement).

• It can be created either using pen & paper, or on the computer.

• Give it to Mr Gault before FRIDAY 08 FEBRUARY

• When the School Eco Council meet again they will bring all the entries and will select a winning one which will be used as our School ECO CODE and LOGO.

• Competition entry form is attached to this article.

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.'

We are into the third month of our 'Wrigley Litter Less Campaign' and today four more of our P7 girls went out to litter pick inside and outside of our school grounds. Today they collected another two bin-liners (12kg) of litter which will help to clean up our surrounding area just before Christmas.

As an Ambassador Eco School we are delighted to be involved in such a campaign, which is a joint initiative of the Wrigley Company Foundation and FEE, currently running in 15 countries. We want to not only reduce litter but also change long term behaviour.
