St James's Primary School, Newtownabbey, Co. Antrim

St. James's Primary School & Nursery Unit are now officially a SchoolCycled school!

22nd Nov 2024

SchoolCycled is an initiative by MYGroup, designed to educate the next generation about recycling, fragile ecosystems and sustainability.

Our innovation in recycling allows us to process many of the items that would ordinarily end up landfilled or incinerated, the so-called ‘hard-to-recycle’ wastes; but, ultimately, we need our children to also become environmentalists, activists and scientists with the ability to create solutions to our pollution issues.

All we ask is that our pupils help out by bringing plastic bottle tops to school and place them in the collection boxes. These bottle tops can be from ant soft drinks bottles, shampoo, fabric softener, shower gel or even yogurt pouches! As long as they are plastic then want them!

In return we can exchange them for 'earth tokens' to help us buy new products for our school such as outdoor planters, benches, chairs, tables and much more! Please help us in our latest Eco drive.
