Congratulations SPS for achieving your second Gold EcoSchools Certification!
Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education program that addresses both how the schools are run and what students learn. It has been designed collaboratively by school boards, for school boards to incorporate environmental education, as well as environmentally responsible action into the school setting. Student success - in both academics and positive contributions to society - is the focus of Ontario EcoSchools. The program aims to influence young people during a formative period of life and affect an exponential impact as children take a culture of conservation home with them.
By achieving Certification, schools demonstrate that they have met the high standards for energy conservation, waste minimization, school ground greening and ecological literacy set out by EcoSchools Ontario. The whole school community must be involved to be successful.
