Eco-Committee
At St. John’s Primary School, we want all members of our school community to be aware of environmental issues affecting their community, our country and our world. In raising this awareness, we want to work with all members of our school community in encouraging them to be global, law-abiding citizens. In doing so, knowing that we all have a responsibility to look after God’s creation and a voice to affect change.
Our Eco-Committee help to give children a voice and develop their confidence in being agents of change. We instil democracy by voting in our Eco-Committee representatives who are encouraged to write speeches outlining why they are interested in being voted onto the Eco-Committee and what ideas they would bring to this group that would ultimately improve our environment, the surrounding community and contribute to raising awareness of global issues. Our Eco-Committee really promote the importance of respect for God’s creation and how precious this beautiful world is.
