Eco School
At Crickhowell High School we take environmental and global citizenship issues very seriously and contribute a vast amount in helping the local environment, community and wider world. We are proud to be an Eco-School and achieved our 2nd Green Flag award in March 2007 following an inspection led by the Chair of the Eco-Schools programme.
All of us at Crickhowell High are very keen to ensure that everyone is leading a healthy and happy life. We encourage pupils to exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet and always help others in need. We are delighted that this has been recognised by Healthy Schools Wales by being awarded the Phase 2 of the Healthy Schools Scheme in June 2008.
Save money and the environment!
At Crickhowell High School we were involved in the organisation and promotion of a great scheme called Make the Switch! last autum. The aim of this scheme was to inform people in the local area about what they can do to save energy.
The project is based around seven steps that households can take to save money and reduce their carbon emissions.
- Change to low energy light bulbs
- Change your habits
- Insulate cavity walls and roof
- Energy efficient appliances
- Generate renewable energy
- Move to a ‘green’ energy supplier
- Energy audit/carbon footprint assessment
We would like to encourage as many people as possible to take these steps to make a difference.
