Green Thumbs
Addington School promotes environmental sustainability. There is a Green Team that both senior and junior students may belong to. Each year the team has a number of new projects to undertake while still maintaining the school vegetable gardens and composting and recycling programme.
We also have a group of Green Thumbs who spend sometime learning about the environment and looking into some environmental projects.
They are a group of students who are passionate about gardening and making a difference in our local environment.
Lyn Petch is in charge of this group.
At Addington we have vegetable gardens, a fruit forest and a large native planting area. And we make our own compost.
