Panmure St Ann’s School in the Cowgate have recently achieved their silver award for Eco schools and are working towards achieving their green flag status.
The pupils have been out in force tidying up the local environment as well as planting vegetables and spices at the Trinity Apse.
In addition to working hard to improve the local environment they have focussed on ways of cutting energy use within the school. They have been switching off lights, computers and ensuring that the bulding stays war. They have taken part in draught excluder workshops as well as using the smoothie bike to generate energy to power a blender therefore making their own healthy smoothies. Well done to everyone involved!!
City Centre councillor Karen Doran said: “I visited the school last year, had a tour, met with pupils and teachers. I was so impressed by the hard work that was being done at the school.
“I am delighted to hear of their achieving the silver award. How wonderful the pupils are looking after their surrounding area by collecting litter, and have worked in the Trinity Apse. I have no doubt they will certainly achieve their green flag, and wish them the best of luck.”
