Medina College awarded Green Fund from Wightlink

Last week our agriculture students accepted a cheque for £754.95 from Wightlink. The cheque was presented by Martin Gulliver from Wightlink.

The funding was granted following an application Mrs Lloyd, Teacher of Agriculture, submitted as part of Wightlink’s Green Fund for Schools initiative. As part of the application process schools were asked to outline how they would use the funds on an environmental project.

The funding that has been received will be used to add bat boxes, bird boxes, bug boxes and hedgehog houses around the school site. We also plan to purchase a camera, which will be added to one of the nest boxes so students can observe nesting and hatching.

Mrs Lloyd and the agriculture students are now looking forward to moving forward with their project! We will be posting updates so that you can follow the project as it develops.
