Eco-Schools Noticeboard

The Eco-Committee is responsible for sharing news about your school's Eco-Schools work with the whole school and wider community and one of the ways they will do that is through an Eco-Schools Noticeboard.  This should be in a central location, visible to everyone in the school.  You could also have a noticeboard in your community for example in a shop, a church or community hall.

Your noticeboard should include:

  • Details of who is on your Eco-Committee so that non-members can contribute ideas.
  • A copy of meeting notes or minutes.
  • A copy of your Eco-Schools Action Plan.
  • Details of current projects and how to get involved.
  • Examples of Measuring
  • Your most recent Green Flag Award certificate.
  • A copy of your Eco-Code

You might also like to include:

  • Press clippings.
  • Photographs of pupils engaged in Eco-Schools activities.
  • Artwork.
  • Schedules or job rotas.
  • Award certificates for related programmes like Rag Bag collections, Mary's Meals etc.
