On Friday 26^th October, Park Primary became the first school in Argyll & Bute to gain the 5^th Green Flag from Eco School Scotland.  The inspectors were delighted with the school’s continued commitment to environmental education.  During the past 2 years, we have concentrated on Litter, School Grounds and Sustaining our World topics.  Alison Kennedy led out work on fair-trade and we were the first primary in Argyll & Bute to gain accreditation as a Fairtrade School.  Ilona MacLaurin led the project to create a School Orchard which is thriving in an area at the front of the school.  Other areas of work which were commended was the school Gardening Club, run by Barbara Macfarlane.  The club grew a wide range of fruit and vegetables and have also made a deluxe bug hotel.  We are very proud of our 5^th flag!
