Most young people care deeply about environmental issues, and wish to make a positive change to the environment around them. The Green-Schools programme provides an ideal way for fostering environmental awareness in the entire school in a way that links to many curriculum subjects.

Green-Schools is holistic. It aims to make environmental awareness and action an intrinsic part of the life and ethos of a school. Green-Schools endeavours to extend learning beyond the classroom and develop responsible attitudes and commitment, both at home and in the wider community.

Green-Schools covers a number of different themes, beginning with Litter and Waste minimisation and followed by the themes of Energy, Water, Travel, Biodiversity and Global Citizenship Litter & Waste.

For the years 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 Gusserane NS will be working towards our Biodiversity flag.

Biodiversity is the fifth theme of the Green-Schools programme.  As with the previous themes, you will see that Biodiversity cross-cuts and integrates with the rest of the themes in many ways.
