Castlehill Primary’s Eco-group is proud to display the school’s fourth green flag, awarded by Eco-Schools Scotland. Over the past two years the school has been very busy investigating the three chosen topics of Waste Minimisation, the School Grounds and Litter as part of the Eco-Schools Programme. The school is very active in recycling as much waste as possible, from jewellery and clothes to plastic from the dinner hall. A plastic bottle greenhouse, using recycled 2 litre plastic bottles, will be built in the school garden in the spring to provide more opportunities for planting and growing. The school has participated regularly in the National Spring Clean and the Westport Beach Clean as well as ensuring the school grounds stay litter-free. Pupils and staff of the school wish to thank any community groups or individuals who have helped them to achieve such a prestigious award.
Well done to you all – I am delighted to hear that you have your 4th Green Flag – Wow!!
