SHS Green Team Mandate
Founded in 2007, the SHS Green Team promotes environmentally respectful behaviour in our school by organizing activities and projects for the entire SHS community.
Since 2007, the Green Team has been providing environmentally-friendly alternatives or new ways of doing things.
Our Green Team is made up of student representatives from Grades 3 to Secondary 5, and teachers.
Green Team representatives and other students participate in global conferences such as the David Suzuki Water Conference and world-wide initiatives such as Earth Hour and Earth Day.
We believe that reducing our impact on the Earth is a shared responsibility.
