A
green school is
a school building that creates a healthy environment conducive
to learning and teaching while saving energy and resources. A green
school community practices and promotes the sustainable use of our
limited natural resources through recycling, composting and reducing
our waste materials. The Green Committee works collaboratively with
parents, teachers, school staff and students to ensure that people
learning and working in the school have healthy air to breathe, enjoy
maximum access to daylight, spend their time in an environment that
connects them to the natural world through plantings and gardens,
respect the true value of water and strive to conserve its use.
Working together to create a green school provides many opportunities
for us to teach and learn as a community about our environment and
the ways to live, learn and work in balance with the
natural world.
