“Myself and another teacher run the enviroSchool club at our school. She works with slightly younger children so as a team we decided that she would do it with her class. My son is in that class. He loved the idea of there being a secret club and that he was lucky enough to be a member. He is very proud of wearing his badge. Lots of great feedback from other students. Lots of important learning opportunities for making healthy choices.”
