Eco Agents
Our pupil-led environmental team caring for our school and learning to look after our planet.
How We Teach Eco Agents
Eco Agents: Guardians of Our Green Future
"Small hands, big changes."
At FVIS, we believe that our students shouldn't just learn about the environment—they should lead the way in protecting it. Our Eco Agents are a dedicated group of student representatives from each year group who meet regularly to ensure our school is as sustainable, conscious, and "green" as possible.
Our Mission
Our goal is to empower every student to take responsibility for the world around them. The Eco Agents act as the voice of their peers, turning bright ideas into real-world action. We focus on three core pillars:
- Sustainability: Reducing waste and saving energy.
- Biodiversity: Protecting the plants and wildlife on our school grounds.
- Education: Teaching our community how to live more eco-friendly lives.

How You Can Help
Sustainability doesn’t stop at the school gates! You can support the Eco Agents by:

- Walking, cycling, or scooting to school whenever possible.
