Climate Action
In his encyclical, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis invites us all to:
‘Work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted to us.’
As a school community, we want to be responsive to the needs of our world and act on the words of Pope Francis. Practising sustainability empowers children to construct knowledge, explore values and develop an appreciation of the environment and its relationship to their worlds. This lays the foundations for environmentally responsible adulthood.
We know that through small-step actions, we can participate in this shared mission to protect and enjoy the world. We are all stewards and therefore, have to be proactive in our local communities. We believe that once we start putting these beliefs into practice at home and at school, through actions such as recycling and switching off lights, that we can start to recognise wider issues in the world that put our common home at risk.
