The new Eco-Reps are seen here with the teacher in charge of this initiative, Mrs Danelle Botes
Every year, a representative of each class at Union High School in Graaff-Reinet is chosen to serve as Eco Representative.
These enthusiastic environmentally-minded learners are then tasked with raising awareness about ecological issues, encouraging environmentally responsible behaviour among their peers and planning related events and activities at the school.
Union’s 18 Eco-Reps for 2020 were announced and presented with their badges at Assembly this morning.
Congratulations to all those chosen to serve this year. They are:
Grade 5: Jordan Koeberg and Zoë Liesing
Grade 6: Rebecca Copeman and Ashleigh Shell
Grade 7: Tara Ferreira and Erin Gedult
Grade 8: Caytah-Leigh Koeberg (absent) and Imitha Nkwintya
