Litter

Our actions to tackle litter in and around school continue.   The Eco-Committee have designed a Litter-o-Meter that is on display in our main foyer. Each lunchtime the cleaner rates the litter left from 'Really rubbish' to 'No rubbish' and results are shared in the pupil bulletin at the end of each week.



At our last Eco Committee meeting we invited two members of Currie Community Council (the Enviornmental and Education Convenors) as well as Councillor Bill Henderson and PC Dee, our school link police officer.   Litter in the community was the subject of our discussions, and what we can do as a school to help.  Sophie and Sally are going to write a letter to Cllr Henderson requesting an additional bin for the grassy area behind Woodlands School.   We also talked about making an anti-litter video, asking school neighbours why it would be good to stop littering.

Volunteers from S3 xl did a litter pick of Roley's Wood yesterday and collected 4 bags of litter, mainly from around the bridge area. Well done them!
