Deputy mayor Alan Jamieson summed up the good work achieved through Toko School's Enviroschools journey with a single sentence at an assembly held at the school at the end of term 2.
"On behalf of the environment, we all thank you."
The assembly was held to recognise the pupils achievement in attaining a silver status in the Enviroschools programme, with some of the children leading the assembly, presenting a video looking back over their Enviroschool journey.
"I like the fact we are taking care of plants and animals and that we are doing things to make our school and our life more sustainable." Abbey Sextus (10), one of the enviro leaders at the school, says the school has been an Enviroschool since she first started, and the focus on the environment has become second nature to her. "We grow our own vegetables and fruit, which we then use to sell or cook and bake with, we collect the eggs from the chickens and we sell worm wee from our worm bins."
"We are only where we are because of the all the support."
