Eco Warriors

Sun Hill Junior School proud to continue our Eco-Committee group for another year. This group provides our pupils with a fantastic opportunity to meet regularly, share ideas and discuss actions that can make our schools more eco-friendly. The Eco-Committee takes the lead on environmental initiatives within school and our wider community.  

What is the Eco-Committee?

The Eco-Committee is a group formed by environmentally-centred pupils from across the year groups who are mentored by an adult eco-coordinator. Our eco-committee includes additional backing from The Perins MAT H&S and Estates manager, teachers, non-teaching staff, administration, and parents who support the school community on the Green Flag journey.

What does the Eco-Committee do?

The Eco-Committee is responsible for guiding the school through the 7-Step journey to achieve their International Green Flag Award.  

The committee: 

• organise regular meetings, at least twice per term, to discuss environmental action for the school; 

• carry out an environmental review and develop an action plan; 

• record minutes showing the results of group discussion and actions to be taken; 

• consult the whole school in the decision-making process;  

• share progress with the school community and promote the ethos of environmental education.
