Green Flag
Congratulations to Mearns Castle on achieving the Eco Schools Green Flag- a prestigious international award!
This would not have been possible without the whole school working together. A special thanks to all the pupils who helped on the day with the assessors visit especially the eco committee who guided the assessors through their visit.
Look out for the Green Flag flying outside the school very soon!
