We are taking part in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel to encourage as many people as possible to make active travel journeys to school.

• Travelling actively is great exercise and helps us stay healthy.
• Travelling actively to school means we arrive more alert and ready to learn!
• Walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting to school is fun!
• More people travelling actively to school means cleaner air, less traffic and less noise around the school.

So, let us encourage you to make an active travel journey by…        walking       wheeling      cycling     scooting      or                                        park and stride to school!

Thank you for your support.

We are taking part in East Ayrshire Council’s Power Down initiative. 

We have been working really hard on monthly energy reducing challenges in school and are the Challenge of the Month winners.

Windy’s Top Tips are great ways that we can also reduce energy at school and at home! Perhaps some of these can help reduce our carbon footprint and our energy bills!!

Please help us raise our community caddy count by naming and registering your family’s food caddy. And remember…there’s a monthly prize draw from February to May!

• Choose a name for your family’s kerbside caddy. Write your chosen name on the lid/front of your kerbside caddy.

• Let us know the name of your caddy by registering it here (this will take 1 minute!) Your child received a letter with a QR code too. 

• Recycle your food waste at home, present your caddy for collection each week and enter your school recycling monthly prize draw – click here to find out when your caddy collection day is!

• Can you share your knowledge and encourage anyone else to recycle their food waste too and help to raise your Community Caddy Count? 

Thank you for your support!

Cairey the Caddy is back!!

Help us fight climate change and be in with the chance of winning a £50 East Ayrshire gift card.

A whopping 69% of food waste in East Ayrshire is not being recycled.

To encourage more people to recycle their food waste, the EAC Sustainability & Climate Change Team has launched a new recycling at home campaign – Dinnae forget your Caddy!

The campaign was successfully rolled out last year in schools and ECCs across East Ayrshire but now the team need your help to raise Community Caddy Counts.

Support the campaign by naming your caddy (Caddy McCaddyface is absolutely acceptable) and register the name online

Write the name in permanent marker on your caddy, then all you have to do is present your caddy each week to be entered into the ‘Favourite Caddy of the Month’ draw.

The monthly draw will run from November through to May, and the recycling crews will select one ‘named’ caddy at random to win a £50 East Ayrshire gift card.

You could also encourage your neighbours, family and friends to take part in the campaign and make it a bit competitive. Let us know if you encourage anyone to start recycling

EAC Waste crews will begin monitoring the number and names/designs of kerbside caddies from 4th November.

At the end of November, EAC Sustainability & Climate Change team will let you know:

• which family has been selected as ‘Favourite Caddy of the Month’ (we’ll get in touch with the winning centre/school and make arrangements to present the winning prize and certificate to your winning family)
• number of new Caddies requested by your families
• number of caddy names registered by your families
• number of caddy buddies made.

Thank you for your support!
