On Thursday 13 March, eight Year 10 House Captains attended the Student Climate Leadership Forum at the Australian Museum. During this day, our leaders engaged in ideation workshops to enhance their environmental consciousness, particularly relevant to our local school context. We heard from a range of inspiring guest speakers including Kal Glanznig, a young Councillor who implemented ‘Plastic Free Cronulla’ as well as Sophia Skarparis, an environmental advocate for community action. These inspiring stories highlighted the immense impact young people, namely individuals can have in responding to climate change through powerful local action.
Our leaders also had the opportunity to create a Climate Action Plan for our school which they will continue to develop and implement later this year. This will help us fulfil our environmental obligation as Stewards of Creation, ensuring a sustainable and harmonious relationship with the Earth for future generations.
