Camulos Academy

Bringing Learning to Life

Eco Council

Welcome to the Eco council school page

 

Camulos Academy is an Eco School. This means we are committed to becoming a sustainable and eco friendly school that educates children on how best to care for our environment and protect our world. 

Why do we have an Eco Committee?


The Eco committee is an ideal opportunity for our pupils to get more involved in supporting the school to be sustainable and to help it be environmentally friendly. The Council benefits the whole school, pupils and teachers, because it provides opportunities for pupils to communicate their feelings as well as influence decisions that are made. Councillors develop skills such as confidence, communication and negotiation. It is the responsibility of each Councillor to ensure that they express both their own views and the views of all the other pupils they represent.

Who can be a member of the School's Council/ Eco Committee? 

 

We have an active School's Council with a pupil representing their fellow pupils from EYFS to Year 6.  Each class has had the opportunity to vote for their council members and these will change with time to allow more diverse opinions throughout the years. Once elected each member will receive an Eco Warrior school badge which they will wear everyday to school.

 

What do we do?


Members of the Council take part in discussions and votes and also feed back any relevant information to their class. At times they are requested to ask their class for ideas or take class votes relating to discussions by the Council. Members meet regularly with Miss Daines & Miss Ince (Eco coordinators) to discuss their ideas.

 

All 52,000 registered Eco-Schools from 67 countries around the world follow the same Seven Step framework in order to achieve the internationally recognised Eco-Schools Green Flag award. All of these schools also have one or possibly two volunteer Eco-Coordinators who work with pupils to run the Eco-Schools programme. Here at Camulos we are working hard to achieve the seven steps together.

Martin Goss Visit about Recycling

We were fortunate enough to have a visit from local eco-warrior Martin Goss. Martin was able to deliver an assembly on the importance of recycling and gave lots of top tips on how best to recycle in school and at home. The eco council then got to meet with Martin and he has given the eco council a lot of food for thought for our next meeting.
