Eco-Schools Assemblies During Sustainability Week 2024/25

As part of Sustainability Week, our Eco-School students led inspiring assemblies across EYFS, Primary, and Secondary to raise awareness about sustainability and our commitment to making a difference.

These assemblies focused on our key themes: Waste Reduction, Energy Use, and Biodiversity, while introducing the importance of Global Citizenship. Through engaging presentations, our students encouraged their peers to adopt eco-friendly practices and think globally while acting locally.

We’re incredibly proud of their efforts in spreading this vital message and building a more sustainable future for our school community!

Sustainability Week Activities 2024/25

During Sustainability Week, our students actively engaged in a range of meaningful activities designed to promote environmental awareness and responsibility. Secondary students showcased their knowledge and creativity through sustainability-themed quizzes and an exciting baking competition, where entries featured eco-friendly and locally sourced ingredients.

Primary students conducted in-depth research on Qatar’s ongoing initiatives to support sustainability, presenting their findings to peers to inspire informed discussions. They also embraced the spirit of innovation by creating vibrant posters to display throughout the school, spreading messages of environmental stewardship. Additionally, they used recycled materials to craft unique projects, demonstrating how “something out of nothing” can contribute to a greener future.

Together, these activities fostered a strong sense of community and responsibility, highlighting the importance of sustainability in both local and global contexts.

As part of our annual commitment to Qatar Sustainability Week, we organized a Beach Clean-Up.

This initiative allowed us to actively contribute to protecting our environment while deepening our understanding of the impact litter has on marine life. A representative from the DEAP association joined us, sharing valuable insights and inspiring us with eye-opening facts and statistics about the importance of our actions for the planet.

It was a memorable and educational experience, reinforcing our dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship, which we look forward to continuing every year.
