Enviroschools

Enviroschools is a facilitated education for sustainability programme that encourages schools towards becoming sustainable communities, incorporating best environmental practices that will carry over into pupils home/ everyday life.

Enviroschools offers schools:

• an opportunity to make environmental education a central part of school life
• enriched and integrated educational experiences
• an opportunity to develop young people's decision making skills
• potential for financial savings
• a chance to share ideas with other schools
• access to a network of support agencies
• a national award
• an opportunity to become part of a global movement.

Rewarding achievement

Every year participating schools reflect on their progress towards creating a sustainable community. At the annual awards celebration students share with other schools what they have been doing and receive recognition for their achievements.

There are three awards - Bronze, Silver and Green-Gold.
