WHPS Goes Green and IS AWARDED A GREEN FLAG!!

WHPS has been awarded the Green Flag showing that we are indeed an eco-friendly school!

We presented projects on the following themes:

Resources
Healthy Living
Community and heritage

Once our eco-reports had been assessed we were awarded the Green Flag in recognition of the transformation that had taken place. Now that we have the Green Flag we need to retain it by tackling a fourth theme and again submit an Eco-Report. It is about our on-going commitment to change!

After we have successfully completed five themes we qualify for an International Flag.

Watch this space for news of our upcoming project on Culture and Heritage where the whole school will be involved in ethnic beadwork projects.

5 Ways to Go Green and Save

Save Energy: Unplug your appliances, especially cell phone chargers whilst you are not using them.

Save Water: Take shorter showers, water your plants when it's the coolest outside so the water doesn't evaporate as quickly, wash dishes by hand by filling up one side of the sink instead of letting the water run.

Save Fuel: Carpool. By conserving gas, you'll not only be saving the environment, you'll be saving money.

Buy Smart: If you don't need it, don't buy it. If you can borrow it, do it. Not only will you be producing less waste, but you'll be saving money while you're at it.

Support: Companies who are making an effort to "Go Green". Whether it is your local car dealership or your grocery store, support these companies in their efforts to help save the environment.

"I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?"

Robert Redford
