Sustainable Citizen Competition

20th January 2023

Sustainable Citizen Character Competition
Children's' Rights , Article 24:Every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food and a clean environment so that children can stay healthy.
A HUGE well done to everyone who has entered the competition set by our UNICEF Steering Group. We are delighted that children across all ages have submitted their ideas . As a school we recognise it is our responsibility to care for our planet and as a school community we are working hard to plan lessons into our curriculum offer and to identify ways we can make a real difference in a practical way.
As a school, we are committed to reducing our waste of paper, food, plastics and energy. Incorporating intelligent heat usage and heat loss prevention, paper reduction and online communications and recycling.
We already raise awareness of climate change within the school and local community through our weekly SMSC, assemblies and events.
As a school, we promote walking and cycling where possible to reduce excess pollution and energy usage.
With the help of the community, through the UNICEF steering committee and staff we are committed to research in order to improve and evolve our response to climate change. This is an ongoing and continual process.
The winner will be announced in our whole school assembly on Monday. The winner's 'Sustainable Citizen' will be used on all our displays and paperwork linked to this very important area of the curriculum.
