St Luke’s Science and Sports College – Mission Update!

Hi there, we would just like to update you on our activities.

In our wild spaces outside we have now created a marshy area. Our Design and Technology Dept students are busy making a bat box and a barn owl box, and we have created a database to record all the animals and plants we see and any interesting facts about them. People all over the college are growing potatoes in their subject areas and we are also growing sunflowers. The seeds will be used for the wild birds in the winter.

As a college we are taking part in the growing seeds campaign for trees and have planted our 400 seeds. Within the college we are looking at litter and how we can improve our recycling and energy efficiency.  Two members of our Green Team have applied to join the new youth parliament for the environment. Lastly we have made one hanging basket from recycled bras, as being promoted by The Royal Horticultural Society and if we can sell any then all proceeds will go to The Jane Goodall Institute.

   You certainly seem very busy! We would love to hear an update on how the tree planting is going and whether or not you have made it to the Youth Parliament for the environment. We would also love to see a photo of the hanging basket – it sounds intriguing!

   The tree planting is going really well. The seeds have started to germinate and when i go into the greehouse I feel really good that so many young saplings have started to grow. The Youth Parliament outcomes are on 15 June and i will post a picture of the hanging basket very soon. We filled ours with strawberries and our Head of Science took it home as he does not have much garden.
