by Maisie Gilbert (Year 7)As you know, students are currently learning online due to this global pandemic but the Secondary Green Council won’t let that stop us from taking action.
We have had meetings every Thursday lunchtime throughout online learning to discuss plans and actions going forward. We have divided ourselves into three groups, each working on three targets. The first group is led by Mahiro Noda (Year 12) and is working on producing the Gv Green Newsletter (this one that you are reading now!) to create a space where you can read further about what the Green Council does, and other various eco-projects run as part of the GV Green Matters initiative. Although we already have a website (https://gvgreenmatters.weebly.com/), we thought making the newsletter would make information more accessible to those who want to learn further. The group is excited to offer you more information and updates as we progress forward. The second group is the Growing Group led by Florence Gilbert (Year 10). This group strives to have enough saplings of different fruits and vegetables to put in the tree nursery at school then, later on, sell them to raise money to fund further Green Council projects. They are beginning to grow things such as mangos, peppers, papaya, avocado and more, and we will be sharing the updates from the group in the near future. The third group, led by Shantel Jubilan and Eva Gerkema (Year 12), aims to unify the Green Council by creating uniforms that we can wear at Green Council events and days of meetings. The team has started working on designing the shirt which will be made using recycled plastic from the ocean. Each T-shirt would remove a kilogram of plastic compared to using non-recycled materials, and that way we will help the environment whilst connecting the Green Council students as a group.
