The auditorium was buzzing yesterday during Period 5 as the school welcomed James Veness, a representative from Solar for Schools - the organisation responsible for our school's solar panel array.
Veness delivered an entertaining and informative presentation that moved beyond the technicalities of renewable energy, focusing instead on the urgent realities of Climate Change and the responsibilities of being a Global Citizen.
While the school’s solar panels often go unnoticed on the roof, Veness brought their impact to life. He used the school’s own energy data to illustrate how local infrastructure plays a vital role in the broader fight against global warming.
Key highlights from the session included:
- Actionable Insights: How students can transition from passive observers to active participants in environmental advocacy.
- The Power of Tech: A breakdown of how our solar installation reduces our collective carbon footprint every single day.
- Global Citizenship: A call to action for students to view their daily choices through a global lens.
The event concluded with a lively Q&A session, leaving many students discussing how they can further implement sustainable habits within the school community.
