Green Flag Award

 

 

 

From the hundreds of species of flora and fauna to the vast expanses of open green land in our School, we value the conservation of the environment. At a time where tackling climate change has become more vital than ever, the School strongly believes that as individuals, everyone has an important part to play in rehabilitating ecosystems. 

 

Last year, the School embarked on a journey to become increasingly eco-friendlier. Habs is taking a three-pronged approach towards this journey; awareness, proposal and action. Through student led assemblies, pupils have raised awareness about water scarcity, plastic pollution and the impacts of climate change on children across the globe.

 

Within the student body, Habs has a group of ten pupils which form the ‘Eco-Committee’; a think-tank that meets bi-weekly and formulates ideas and concepts that will make the School greener.

Finally, three students, Gabriel, Akash and Ishaan pushed through any tangible ideas to the Senior Leadership Team in an effort to implement these proposals and drive positive climate action. From reducing plastic usage and implementing a pen recycling scheme to ensuring waste is properly collected, Habs has made many changes to become greener.

 

Simultaneously to these actions, Habs has been working towards an Eco-Schools Award. The School was recently awarded the highest of honours, the Green Flag Award for dedication to conserving the environment.

 

Individual choices can make a difference to the environment and it is hoped that we can encourage other schools and students to help drive climate action in their communities.

 

Habs would like to thank the whole school community for working together as a team to help make this achievement possible.
