Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

Here at Pinehill School we take looking after the environment seriously.  We do a lot of things to keep our school and the environment clean.

Here are a few things we do around the school:

- We have painted the drains to remind people that these drains only drain rain!
- We sort our rubbish with paper and cardboard boxes separately so they can be recycled properly.
- Walking to school is promoted at our school so we don't use cars as often.
- We also take our own rubbish from our lunch boxes home.



Yesterday our school was awarded the Gold Travelwise School Award and received an additional Walking Award for 'contribution to creating a walking or scooter culture in the school'.  Here is a picture of our school representatives with these awards.

    Hi Room 14,
    That's an awesome acheivement, getting both a gold ravelwise school award and a walking award! I also love your idea of painting the drains! At least then there won't be anything like paint going through our eco-system. How many people do you think are walking to school and do you think we can get most kids in the country to walk at least twice a week?
