“I was delighted with the proceedings of the Win green week. The main aim of Year 12’s week was to take part in activities which help us move towards a “zero waste home”. The activities ranged from song making to brochure making. What intrigued me the most was the WIN TED session. It was an exciting session with informative lessons lead by the schools own students.”- Arjun Murlidharan (Yr 12 Economics)
