Thank you, Mr Kearton!

The Eco Team has been effectively and tirelessly led by Mr Iain Kearton. He has been ably supported by Mrs Susan Mackay and Mrs Sally Nowell, with wonderful input from parents Phoebe and Corrine, and the entire team of pupils, staff and parents has achieved a tremendous amount this year under his direction.

On 23rd May, Mr Kearton organised a fantastic celebration at Lauriston Castle as a 'thank you' for the energy, enthusiasm and dedication the pupils have put into Sciennes' many eco-projects and pilots this year. Read here about the huge amount achieved on the Eco Team Blog and view photos from the Lauriston Castle event.

We want to thank Mr Kearton for all his hard work and expertise in leading the Eco Team so successfully and with a fond farewell, we wish him and his family every happiness as they get ready for their new adventure in the north of Scotland.

Lauriston Castle

On 23rd May, the eco-group were invited to the idyllic grounds of Lauriston Castle as a 'thank you' for the energy, enthusiasm and dedication they have put into Sciennes' many eco-projects and pilots this year.

The eco-group have achieved a huge amount in 2013-14 and this is due overwhelmingly to the willingness of our eco-reps to come forward with ideas and take on new challenges - without such an enthusiastic group of class reps we would have achieved a fraction of our aims for the year!

Our trip to Lauriston Castle was a fitting end to the school year. We had a full day of exploration and discovering, as the photos below show. Our eco-reps were fascinated by pond dipping, leaving just enough time for a quick bit of den building after lunch. Many thanks to Theo's dad for supporting our trip - always take a biologist with you on a field trip!

Our current eco-reps will continue to represent their classes in the next session until a new group is elected in September or October.

Well done eco-team on a rewarding and productive year's work and thanks for being such a great bunch to work with!

The eco-group in action!
