Eco Council

 

The annual elections for this school year will take place on Thursday 26th September.

 

Children from Years R-6 are invited to stand for our Eco Council. Children need to produce a poster or manifesto of ideas to share with their peers. Children will then vote for their favourite candidate during our election day. This demonstrates the British Value of Democracy to children.

 

Being part of the Eco Council at Newburgh School is very rewarding and lots of fun. When we meet, we learn about sustainability, the impact that we have on the environment and how we can help to make positive changes. We have meetings and then we discuss what we have learnt with our peers in class. Initiatives we have undertaken previously have ranged from dog poo bags around the village, supportigng the work at the local community space Appleton Fields to reducing our electricity use in school. 

 

Furthermore, throughout the year there will be opportunities to partake in local events, including trips to eco fairs and our local council.

 

Being an Eco councillor is an integral role within our school and in being chosen as Eco councillor you will not only be making a difference this year for our school and the community but your ideas and initiatives will make a difference for future generations.
