Sustainability

As the sunflowers turn their head to the sun, I hope students will turn to Sustainability. The Sustainability team have met to plan some projects for this year and we welcome any students and staff to join us each Wednesday week B lunchtime in the art room. This year the garden club will be on Monday lunchtimes in the veggie patch and we will continue to sell the organic produce with a percentage of the profit going towards soil and seedlings and the remainder donated to the Tear Fund.

So, if you have any questions or are passionate about sustainability, we would love you to join the team!
