When the Eco School auditor came to
Jackman, she was very impressed with our comprehensive eco program. In
the end, she declared us a PLATINUM ECO
SCHOOL once again! We scored an impressive 93.4 out of 100!
That’s one of our highest scores ever.
The Auditor noted our Strengths:
- Maintaining a strong Eco Team
- Promoting waste reduction & energy conservation
- Engaging students with eco ideas in the classroom
- Targeting our school’s eco problems with creative solutions
- Engaging the school community with many eco activities
- Maintaining a green schoolyard
Jackman’s Next Steps:
