The Eco Club were very pleased to welcome Tara de Linde; School Governor for Sustainability, to our meeting on Wednesday. Tara had already received a copy of the students’ annual Eco- Club Report (which they had presented to KS3 in Assembly last week). Tara was very impressed to hear of the students work towards the Eco Schools Award. The meeting started as usual with the Eco Club checking and maintaining the Biodiversity garden. Pondweed needed removing and the water was topped up in the pond from the rainwater barrel. Back in the classroom, Mrs Carey informed the students that she had nominated the Eco Club for a ‘Litter Hero’ award, a combination of their work promoting litter picking in assembly and the school and beach litter picks they had conducted. The students then discussed their designs for a “Healthy City” competition with Tara and their hopes for continued progress in sustainability at Battle Abbey.
