Year 1 Educational Trip

Marine pollution is a serious issue on our island, and with that in mind Year 1 decided to do something about it. 

So for our educational trip Y1 went to Faros beach in Pervolia for a beach clean.   It was a great success, we picked up around 600kg of litter and made a significant positive impact on the environment!   The activity was carried out in cooperation with AKTI Project and Research Centre http://www.akti.org.cy/ and the data on litter we collected was recorded. This data has been entered into a European wide database which is used as a key tool to raise awareness about the sources, causes and impacts of marine litter.   
 
It was great to be able to go on school trips again after more than 2 years of the pandemic and we all enjoyed the beautiful sunny day together.  After their hard work at Faros beach, Year 1 spent the rest of the day playing, relaxing and bonding at Makenzie beach.
