SEC - Student Environmental Council

The Primary SEC respresentatives shared a presentation this week about projects they are undertaking in school. The Y4 students were excited by these and were especially keen to recycle their old T-shirts to make re-useable bags.

This video shows how they can do this if they would like to try it at home:

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2020

Next Wednesday the Year 4 student councillors will present an assembly about our Christmas shoebox appeal for the children in the Lua Tribe in Northern Thailand. Last year we also donated to them and they were extremely grateful.

This year we would like to do it differently so instead of filling a box and sending it in, we are asking for empty shoe boxes. Each class will then bring in different items to fill the boxes and the children will fill, wrap and decorate the boxes later this month. This year we thought it would be nice if the children prepare the boxes themselves.

There will also be extra boxes in the shared area for any extra donations of the above items so we can make as many boxes as possible. Thanks for your help.
