Cogan Eco Code

As a school we have put things like - Reducing, Reusing and Recycling high up on our priority list. A couple of years ago we were successful in gaining the:-

And we are now trying to get our second award.
What does Cogan do;-
- We Reduce our waste paper by using both sides.
- We reuse scrap paper at playtimes and in the classroom
- We recycle, any paper that cannot be reused is recycled.

- We have a compost bin set up so that any food waste during play and lunch times can be composted.
- We are growing our own plants and vegetables in the infants.
- We have added lots of flower pots to the infant and junior yards.
- We have purchased a green house so that our plants and veg can grow even better.
