Allotment
We have put our name down for an allotment in Elm’s park just across from the school in order to potentially grow fruit and veg for our school kitchens and bee friendly flowers. We have yet to hear back but we are hoping to be allowed access in the coming months.

Allotments
Robyn has enquired about allotments across from the school and we are waiting to be contacted back. Membership is free, but we are unsure whether there will be a cost for an actual allotment.
Rag Bag
There has been a second collection of rag-bag and we are waiting to hear back on the money raised from this. Last time we raised a grand total of £28.40 and we are hoping to raise more this time.
Display
We now have a display cabinet in the foyer so there will be a meet-up to redecorate it.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday 26th August, period 4.

Catch – up
The committee has now reformed after prelims so all members are expected to turn up to meetings
Rag Bag
Our indoor bank is up and running and we have ordered our first collection due to the large number of bags of clothing already.
Bins
Both our outdoor bins and our recycling bins have arrived so you will start seeing around the school soon. Our recycling bins will be put in the cafeteria for paper bags and other recyclable goods.
The next meeting will be on Thursday 9th April at Lunchtime.
Meeting Adjorned.
Hiatus
Due to exams and exam leave club activities are currently suspended. We will resume at the beginning of the new timetable. Good luck on your exams everyone!
Rag Bag
Our Rag bag initiative has proven to be a success and we have already ordered a collection! We are considering applying for an outdoor bin due to the popularity but for the meantime our indoor bin is still in place in the assembly hall. Bags are available at the pupil dookets behind the duplicating room door.
Spring Clean
We are planning a spring clean around April or May time, and we have ordered the spring clean pack from Keep Scotland Beautiful.
More information will be made available soon.
Our Latest Actions
Lately we have started to recycle clothes through rag bag, started cleaning the teachers garden, ordered both general waste bins and recycling bins for the school and registered our spring clean event (where I accidentally ordered 700 adult tabards, oops!). Photos to follow.

Bronze Award
We recieved the news that we had acheived our bronze award, ad we got a photo with our certificate.
Moving Forward
We agreed to undertake a new environmental review and discussed methods to get more of the school involved. We have a very big school, so we may select a focus group of pupils outside the eco-committee to help us with our environmental review. From this we will agree on our action plan. We are unsure whether to involve a focus group in this too.
AOB
Wishing everybody on the Committee a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The next meeting will be on Thursday 8th January at Lunchtime.
