Our Green Schools Committee recently delivered a fantastic presentation to all classes, highlighting our theme: Global Citizenship Energy
The committee informed pupils about our goal to significantly reduce energy consumption both here at school and in our homes, emphasising that these local actions contribute to a vital global effort to combat climate change.
The presentation reminded everyone of the important habits we've already adopted:
-
Turn it Off: Ensuring lights and monitors are switched off when not in use.
-
Close the Door: Keeping heat inside by closing doors and windows.
-
Reduce Waste: Continuing our efforts towards reducing, reusing, and recycling.
