Visit to the ECOS Centre
On Thursday 23rd October, pupils from 10M, 10O and 10D visited the ECOS Centre in Ballymena. There we learned about the environment and how it is being destroyed and what we can do to stop it. We had a guide who led us around the grounds of the centre, we were told about the area and we seen the recycling bank where local people can come to recycle their waste. We were accompanied by Mrs Chisim, Mrs McKeever, Miss Magee, Mrs Green and Mrs Clarke.
After we toured the outside we visited the inside of the centre and we learnt about the different sections and how they help the environment. We learnt about the animals and how their habitats are being destroyed. If we keep living the way we are now, the animals will be extinct in a few years. It was a good day and we learnt lots of new things!
We then finished the day with some retail therapy at Junction One before heading back to School.
