Some of the decisions they have taken at the following meetings has been to get a 'T' - Shirt for members so that they are visibal in the schhol yards and else were if any one has questions. They want to appeal to the School authorities to permit them to wear them once a week or on their meeting days. They also want to go on excursions and again use some of their meeting days to do recycling projects so that during speech and prize giving days, they will have things to exhibit on Eco-School.
