Pupil-run anti-litter campaign for next term

Currie High has entered a City of Edinburgh Council anti-litter initiative for High Schools. The project will start with assemblies about litter and its impact by the environmental organisation Changeworks. Two S2 English classes will have the opportunity to work with a professional media company to ‘story board’ a litter campaign video and develop a whole-school campaign targeting littering. A group of pupils with the best storyboard will work with the media company to actually create their film idea.

The Eco-Committee has developed a survey on litter for pupils that will be used before and after the campaign to see how effective it has been in changing behaviour. If Currie High’s film and other campaign materials are judged to be the best of all the High Schools involved, they will be used by the Council for a city-wide campaign. Watch this space ………..
