At Papplewick, we aim to raise our boys' awareness on issues that evolve around the world. We not only educate them academically but also give them the means to grow up and care for the environment we live in.

We have now been awarded the Eco School Silver certificate and we are working towards achieving our Green Flag Award. Recent projects have included:

• We have a small vegetable garden plot which a group of boys and staff tend weekly. The produce is then harvested and used in our kitchen.
• We have two main compost areas within the school. One is situated next to the garden plot and another one in the kitchen.
  As part of their Science lessons boys have planted trees.
• Boys have been allocated limited printing quotas to minimize paper waste.
• Posters and signs reminding people to switch the lights off when leaving rooms are displayed in and around classrooms.
• Each classroom has paper recycling bins that are regularly emptied.
• To raise awareness on electricity waste a non energy day was held when no laptops or Interactive Whiteboard were used.
• We have also held a Litter Awareness day - the theme being how we can take better care of our school and grounds.
• Letters, School Reports and Marks are sent to parents via electronic systems.
