Saving Energy

To launch Switch off Fortnight 2013, the eco group held an assembly for year 7 & 8, where they created a power point and talked about how we could all make a difference in school by switching out lights when we leave the classroom,  remember to switch of computers and projectors when not in use. 

They held a competition to find out the most Environmentally Friendly Classroom, the classrooms were monitored for a week before the event started and they found that 1/3 of the lights and projectors that were left on when not in use around the school came from year 7 and 8 tutor groups. 

The competition started with some tutor groups really trying to "make a difference".  They worked together to great classroom displays, monitored how often they emptied the paper recycling and the weight of the paper they recycled.  Labels were made to remind them to switch out the lights when they left the classroom.









The results will be published after 1/2 term
