Environmental Advocates
Welcome! This page will tell you about our new Environmental Advocates and some of the work we are doing. Our Environmental Advocates work hard to encourage the rest of the school to become more eco-friendly. St Andrew’s Environmental Advocates' work primarily links to two articles within the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC): Article 24 (Health and Environment) and Article 12 (Right to be heard).
Why do we have Environmental Advocates?
Being an Environmental Advocates is an ideal opportunity for our pupils to get more involved in the way our school is run and help us to be more environmentally friendly. It provides opportunities for pupils to communicate their feelings as well as influence decisions that are made. Environmental Advocates take on the responsibility of expressing their own views, but also the views of their peers.
What do our Environmental Advocates do?
Our Environmental Advocates help to care for our school environment: they help others to follow our eco-code, monitor our energy use in the school, and encourage teachers and children to recycle. Environmental Advocates will take part in discussions and votes and feedback any relevant information to their class.
