FairTrade Cafe Update

Over 20 students from Greendown School have helped Ms Bennett, Mrs Mason and Ms Wilkinson setup the Fairtrade café. From years 8-11 have been running the café at after school events by ordering products to the washing up!
At after school events, homemade cookies and muffins are sold, also Geobars and Fairbreak bars. All homemade products are made from Fairtrade ingredients and made by Greendown’s students. Also the students have given presentations about Fairtrade to partner primary schools and have been helping primary school set up their own Fairtrade day.
In October 2007 it was decided that the Fairtrade café as an official Social & Business Enterprise, since then 15 different events have been held and Greendown’s students have made £160 profit which will go toward the school’s Exchange and trips fund including the South Africa student exchange.
