Bay is an Eco School

Bay Primary is a proud Eco School! The Eco-Schools programme is an international programme of the Foundation for Environmental Education that was developed to support environmental learning in the classroom.

The programme accredits schools that make a commitment to continuously improve their school’s environmental performance.

The programme is active in 67 countries around the world and has been implemented in South Africa since 2003 by WESSA. The programme is aimed at creating awareness and action around environmental sustainability in schools and their surrounding communities as well as supporting Education for Sustainable Development in the national curriculum. With over 50% of the content in some CAPS subjects being environmental in nature, Eco-Schools makes a positive contribution towards improving education in South Africa.

Since 2003 more than 4500 schools across all nine provinces have participated in the programme.
