Broadoak’s Eco Club gets back to work

Broadoak Academy has relaunched its popular after-school Eco Club as part of an exciting programme of extracurricular activities, giving students the opportunity to make a positive difference both in school and in the wider community.

Five dedicated student volunteers from Years 7 and 8 headed out together to tackle litter around the perimeter of the school grounds.

Armed with litter-picking equipment and plenty of enthusiasm, the team collected an impressive one large bag of rubbish, including two burst footballs, a discarded vape, a small glass bottle and a battery, which was safely removed for appropriate disposal.

Their efforts demonstrate how even small actions can make a big difference to the local environment. By giving up their own free time to help improve the area around their school, these students have shown real community spirit, responsibility and pride.

Sophie Newton, Cover Teacher and Eco Club Leader, said:

“I’m incredibly proud of the students and the enthusiasm they show.

“Each week, students give up their own time to make a difference, and that’s worth celebrating! A huge well done and thank you to all five students for their hard work and commitment.

“We meet every Monday after school on the benches by the bike sheds. The group runs from 3.10-4pm. Everybody welcome, Join us!”
