Schoolhouse
English operates as a business that respects the environment.
The school
building has been carefully restored using many attractive, reclaimed
features. It is carefully insulated and most of the lighting is
low energy.
The garden
is productive and organic and we compost or recycle as much waste
as possible being composted, or recycled.
We monitor
fuel and energy consumption.
Students
are encouraged to use recycling boxes and to use water and energy
carefully.
There are
often discussions about the environment in the English classes
as this is an area of increasing importance.
Many activities
and visits take place outdoors, allowing students to appreciate
and feel part of the environment.
