Bishopton Primary Eco- Committee

 

Currently co-ordinating a variety of Eco Initiatives, in order to achieve a Silver award, for Bishopton Primary, from Eco Schools Scotland.
 

Our aim is to raise awareness of environmental issues, and improve our environment.

Our recycling opportunities will benefit both the environment, and our school fund raising.
 
You can help in the following ways:

 

We have recycling bins located with in the school for textiles, shoes, belts.
 

 www.rag-bag.co.uk  who will donate to our school fund based on the tonnage of items we have for recycling – approx £300 per tonne……  So “Spring clean” and help our school fund at the same time….

 

 

Please hand in all your old ink cartridges to the school. There are recycling bins available, and the eco-committee will co-ordinate this recycling activity – the school fund will get up to £3 per cartridge recycled.
 
 
 

Recycle you old mobile phones via our recycling bins. Please hand any old phones into the school; we will receive a donation to our school fund for every phone we send back.

We will collect the phones during March and send off for recycling at the end of the month.
 
 
As you can see by recycling you are not only helping the environment but helping your local school. We will provide an update of the funds raised by each of these activities, and advise how the money will be spent within the school.
 

For any further information please refer to school websites.


 
Dragon's Den Meets the Apprentice.....
 
We have tried to think of a new approach to fundraising, and we thought if we assisted the classes with their enterprise projects we could really empower the children to create products for resale in the local community, which would in turn provide funds for the school
 
Launch of Dragon's Den Friday 2nd October - More news to follow........
