What the Green Team does.

Children in the Green Team are responsible for recycling all paper and cardboard from across the school and ensuring that electrical devices are switched off when not required.  They encourage children to place their snack waste in appropriate bins and add any raw food waste in the compost bin they have made.  The Ronald Ross Green Team are increasingly involved in maintaining and developing the school garden.  They publicise energy saving initiatives and competitions and research opportunities to make the school even greener in the future.

The Green Team carry out their duties every day and collect all recycling at the end of the week to be placed in the schools large recycling bins.
