Our Eco Council meets regularly with Mrs Parker and consists of pupil representatives for each year group (known as our Eco Warriors). Mrs Turbill also supports by running a small lunchtime gardening club every Tuesday, helping to develop our eco garden and keep our school grounds looking beautiful.
Our Eco Council are leading the promotion of the issues of sustainability, recycling and our environment in school.
At Green Hammerton C of E Primary, we encourage all classes to recycle their paper waste in a paper recycling bin. We also have soft drink can recycling bins both in the school entrance porch and in the staff room to enable staff and families to recycle any washed, used cans they may have. Once these bins are full they will be collected by a York based charitable organisation called 'Choose2 Youth' who will recycle to cans to provide much needed funds for their many projects.
Choose2 Youth is a not for profit social enterprise working with children, young people and adults with disabilities and additional needs in York and North Yorkshire.
