Regina Mundi Catholic College is the first and
only school in the board to become certified as an Ontario Eco
School. The school has just been notified that it has received
silver status, which is an amazing accomplishment for a first-time
applicant. In the successful attempt, the Eco Club arranged an
awareness week for Earth Week, a 20 minute makeover of the school
grounds on Earth Day, established a cell phone, digital camera and
printer cartridge recycling system in the school, set up "Good
on one side" paper stations throughout the school and planted
trees in our peace garden. To receive the certification, the school
had to submit examples of work, as well as have a representative
from the program come and evaluate the school.
