Energy Saving Week and Green Day
Week commencing the 19th October 2009, Sherburn High School
students and staff took part in an ‘Eco’ themed
week culminating in Green Day on Friday 23rd October 2009.
Green day was a non uniform day
to raise awareness and raise funds, both staff and students
paid £1 to fund a green
project the money collected was an amazing £540, students
decided to spend the money on a purpose built timber composting
facility following the findings of an informal review of the
school previously carried out by the students.
