St Joseph's Eco Council

The Eco Council wants to protect with love all that God has given us by protecting our environment and encouraging others to live a sustainable lifestyle. The Councillors nominated themselves for this position because they want to make a difference and help to care for God’s earth.  

St Joseph's Eco Councillors are an elected group (from Years 1-6) who help our school community become more eco-friendly, reduce energy consumption and waste, and develop our outdoor areas to encourage wildlife. We attend meetings once a month and research solutions, formulate plans and contribute to school assemblies to tell the school. Recently we have started to compost our fruit and veg waste to use in the garden, and set up a rainwater harvesting system to water the plants.

We are currently working towards the CAFOD Live Simply Award.
