2. We earned our first
in June 2013 and will be working towards our second one this
summer (2015).
We have an Eco-committee that have been elected and meet
every half term but we also have a weekly Eco-club where any pupil
who wants to help is welcome.
The Eco-club meets every Tuesday lunch time and Wednesday after
school.
Pupils can work their way up the ladder from being part of the the
Eco-action team, then become Eco-rangers, Eco-ambassadors and
finally, Eco-captains.

Action plan

6. We have joined litter picks with Keep Wales Tidy and been on a trip to see the
local ‘CWM Environmental’ recycling facility in Johnstown in Carmarthen. We did this
to try and understand how what we are doing at school helps the environment.
We joined RagBag a few years ago, and we have had a number of collections.
We have been raising the money to improve the school grounds. We also joined the
Recycool scheme which helps to encourage people to recycle their old phones, CDs,
DVDs and tablets so you can always bring these in for us.
In the garden we have planted vegetables, herbs and other wonderful plants
which will supply us with food and oxygen. We also keep a wormery and a compost
bin and reuse tyres to make raised beds.
We are starting a blog on the Jointhepod website, so see you there!
Eco-club

This year on Eco-Day we presented an Eco-assembly and all
pupils took part in ‘The Wales we Want’ activity which was linked
to the national conversation on the future of sustainable living in
Wales.
In the past, some lucky pupils have also had workshops with Size
of Wales Rainforest Project, YnniDa Energy, TATA Steel and
Camarthenshire County Council Sustainability Officers.
Olivia Rawlings of Year 7 has just won a recycling graphics
competition which has seen her design printed on a Carms CC
postcard thanking the local community for recycling more.
