Agenda Item: Aspire Initiative – Energy Saving Stickers

1. Introduction

  • Miss Moine explained that as part of our Aspire goals, we are launching an energy-saving initiative.

  • Children were told how we can help the environment by knowing what to turn off and what needs to stay on.

2. The Plan

  • We are using green dot stickers for things that can be turned off (like whiteboards and laptops).

  • We are using red dot stickers for things that must stay on (like fridges and phones).

3. Taking Action

  • After the explanation, the children went around the school and placed the stickers where they were needed.

  • Everyone joined in sensibly and did a great job.

4. Next Steps

  • Classes will be reminded to follow the dots.

  • School council might check later to see how it’s going.

Meeting closed.
