Eco-Schools

Fern Ave. Public School has been participating in the Ontario Eco Schools Program for many years now. We have achieved Gold Level Status for the past 5 years.

Our goal is to nurture environmental leaders, reduce the ecological impact of our school, and build an environmentally responsible school community.

Our team is composed of a dedicated group of students who meet weekly to plan school events and campaigns. Teachers and parent volunteers also work with this group and help support their fabulous ideas.

Here are some of the events and programs the Eco Team has hosted and implemented over the years:

  • Litterless Lunch Program
  • Bag2School
  • Recycling Program
  • Waste Audit
  • Bike Rodeo
  • Earth Hour/Earth Day/Earth Week
  • Fern Garden
  • Used Book Sale
