Fairtrade
Fairtrade at St Peter's
“Fairtrade is really important because it guarantees a good standard of living for those involved in producing the food. As a Catholic school we are committed to helping others and by promoting Fairtrade we can do a lot of good following the example of Christ”
(quote from St Peter’s student)
In order to achieve this we undertake to:
- Support the schools’ Fairtrade steering group made up of volunteers from the school community, with at least 50% of the group members being students
- Ensure Fairtrade is part of the School Development Plan
- Use Fairtrade products wherever possible:
- Tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits in the staffroom and at meetings
- In lessons and classrooms where relevant
- In the Dining Hall
- Encourage those who purchase goods, e.g. sports equipment and uniform to research Fairtrade
alternatives and consider swapping, should this be feasible - Ensure Fairtrade products are available wherever possible, for example, at events in the school or the community
- To ensure that learning about Fairtrade happens in a range of lessons and in whole school activities
- Promote Fairtrade within the school and the wider community particularly during Fairtrade Fortnight
- Do something extra each year to promote Fairtrade
