The older students at the school are studying through distance education and others form a part of an EFL group studying to improve their English. As older students they have to face the personal challenges of finding out where they fit in and battle the cynicism and pressure to NOT care that pervades teenage peer groups world wide.
The Upper School EFL group were given the responsibility of creating a proposal for the School Council that would include a tree planting plan, a rationale for tree planting and the arrangement of a tree planting day.
Through brainstorming discussion they looked at the many benefits of trees and how tree planting addresses not just an environmental need but how it is the ideal activity for a model global citizen.
By planting trees the damage of the past can be repaired, the present can be improved, and the future provided for.
Through other brainstorming a poem was created that will form part of the Environmental Charter of the school.
