  • How and why the initiative has helped students develop attitudes to supporting the environment (either local or global environment)

  • How and why the initiative has involved students in taking ownership of and operating an environmental initiative

  • How and why the initiative demonstrates to the wider school community the impact of active environmental support

  • How the initiative has been developed as a long-lasting initiative for the school; one that can be improved and developed over time and could be sustainable through successive staff changes
