In a passionate push for sustainability, members of Cowley’s Eco-Committee participated in the nationwide Big School Clean. Armed with litter pickers and bin bags, our students spent an hour cleaning up the local neighbourhood — and their efforts were both impressive and eye-opening.
In just 60 minutes, students collected ten full bags of litter from an area within a 10-minute walk of the school. The activity highlighted the severity of local waste issues, with students even discovering instances of fly-tipping.
The initiative, while productive, served as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges facing the community. In response, Eco-Committee members are planning to raise awareness through the school’s social media platforms and are preparing to write to local MPs and councillors to share their findings and advocate for change.
