Eco Schools is all about making sure that the college is as ‘green’ as possible and that we continue to cut our carbon footprint and do our bit for the planet. The Eco Schools Committee brings together students and staff to make important decisions. It also plays a vital role in helping to inform everyone how they can have a positive impact.
