Eco schools is a programme for promoting environmental awareness. It is linked to most subjects in the curriculum, and will involve all children in cross curricular areas such as Citizenship, Health Education, and Social Justice

Eco Schools offers Wallace:
1. The opportunity to make environmental issues an intrinsic part of the life of the school.
2. The opportunity to develop young people’s decision making skills.
3. Materials and ideas for projects and events.
4. Access to a network of support agencies across Scotland.
5. Potential for financial savings, and opportunities to secure additional funding for the project. Action Plan.

We have completed our annual Environmental Review and have decided that the topics we will develop in session 2014-2016 are:
This looks at 10 main areas:
1.Litter
2.Transport
3. Health/ Well Being

The Eco Schools Committee would welcome any suggestions and ideas that would help with environmental improvements in our school.
