The purpose of the week is to allow the girls and staff to engage in a range of eco-friendly activities in order to raise awareness of environmental issues and the importance of sustainable development.

The week will also support Tormead Senior School to achieve the prestigious Silver Eco-Schools international award. The programme provides a framework for schools to adopt a sustainable journey and also a whole host of benefits such as saving money, creating links with the local community and adopt a greener lifestyle.

The Eco-Committee has planned a range of activities to celebrate this year’s Girls Go Green Week. These include a whole school assembly based on energy savings and efficiency, eco-treasure hunt, an eco-fashion challenge and also, the opportunity for all girls and staff to create their own eco-pledges. Prizes such as eco-stationary and Krispy Kreme donuts will be awarded throughout the week.
