St Edmund’s Catholic Academy is committed to become a LiveSimply award community in response to Pope Francis’ call in Laudato Si to protect the world entrusted to us by God. By embracing sustainability, the academy is taking an active role in creating a better future for the environment.

The ECO Week sustainability events for Year 7, 8, and 9 students that took place earlier this week demonstrate the dedication to raising awareness and promoting sustainable practices among its students. The various activities and competitions, such as the video-making competition, movie night, science club, and raffle, provide engaging opportunities for students to learn about environmental issues and solutions.

The decision to donate the profits made during ECO Week to environmental charities or to fund the school’s own sustainability initiatives is commendable. It not only supports important causes but also reinforces the school’s commitment to taking concrete action toward sustainability.

By fostering collaboration between students,staff and stakeholders, St Edmund’s is building a community that prioritises sustainable choices and decisions. This collective effort ensures that sustainability becomes an integral part of the academy’s agenda and empowers students to make a positive impact on the environment.

Overall, St Edmund’s Catholic Academy’s initiatives and activities during ECO Week reflect their dedication to environmental stewardship and their commitment to creating a sustainable future. By engaging students and promoting sustainability, the academy is instilling important values and fostering a sense of responsibility towards the planet.
