Green Flag - June 2025
We are proud to announce that Rosetta has once again been awarded the prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag! This international award recognises our ongoing commitment to sustainability, environmental education, and student-led eco initiatives. Well done to our Eco Committee and the whole school community for making a real difference.
Eco Schools Action Plan
Take a look at our Eco Schools Action Plan. From Sept 2023 to March 2025 we will be working on the following three topics:
- Outdoor Learning
- Healthy Living
- Biodiversity
Environmental Review
The Eco-committee members have been busy investigating how we can improve the environment and our school's impact on the planet. They looked at the results of the review and identified 3 areas we are going to work on - Outdoor Learning, Healthy Living and Biodiversity.
The review will be completed every year to check how we're getting on.

Biodiversity
We have been working hard to maintain our Eco Green Flag so P4 enjoyed a fun filled walk to explore biodiversity in action! We ventured into Cherryvale park and made observations about plant and animal life and noted how it changes by season. We witnessed the effect humans and animals can have on an ecosystem and had great fun building our own huts and dens, as well as creating memory jars filled with natural materials.
