GRAAFF-REINET NEWS — Union High School was recently informed by WESSA Eco-Schools, South Africa that they have been awarded their Gold Eco-Schools Award for their 2016 efforts.
2017 is Union’s fourth year as partners of WESSA Eco-Schools. ‘Local and Global Issues’ is the new theme for this year, focusing on ‘floods and fire’.
The school maintains its previous projects and also chooses a new project from each of its previous themes: Resources - Reducing the school’s annual electricity bill, Healthy Living - Revamping the Primary boy’s bathroom and Biodiversity - creating a worm farm.
The themes and projects were introduced to the whole school during a recent Friday Assembly and each Eco Representative (two from each class) received their badge of service.
