Eco School
Baltasound Junior High School is working towards getting its Eco Flag as part of the Eco Schools program. Many of the activities also fit in with our participation in other schemes, such as Health Promoting Schools. We have an Eco School Committee which includes staff, pupils and community members.
Minutes of committee meetings are here (in pdf, you will need Acrobat Reader to read these).
