Pupils at Stepaside School have been given top marks for their commitment in caring for the environment.
The school has become the eighth in Pembrokeshire to achieve the coveted Gold Sustainable School Award.
In their bid to achieve the award, pupils have taken part in a number of environmental projects throughout the year.
These include encouraging people to save energy both in school and at home and as part of this initiative made their own version of the WEEE man - the original WEEE man is a huge robotic figure made of scrap electronic equipment representing the average amount of electronic products a person throws away over a lifetime.
Pupils also hosted a water week where the importance of saving water was highlighted, and they looked at water problems around the world.
Pupils and teachers were rewarded for their hard work at a special assembly recently when Clr. Huw George, cabinet member for children, young people and learning, presented the Oak Tree to pupils.
The Pembrokeshire Sustainable Schools Award scheme recognises efforts to improve quality of life and the environment without damaging the planet for future generations.
