@StAnds4Sustain Plans were made by our pupils involved in @1point5MAX and Eco Club.

Some of the events drew on amazing practice already going on in the school like the @MGS_SfL Free to a Good Home stall and @English_MGS book swaps.

Aiming for bigger and better next year but would encourage!

[Learning for Sustainability at MGS @LfSatMGS]

Tomorrow is “Thrifty Thursday” where the Free to a Good Home stall, run by Mrs Howie and Mrs Beveridge, will be in the Dance Studio at breaktime and lunchtime. ♻️

[Learning for Sustainability at MGS @LfSatMGS]

Something to look forward to for after the holidays!

More details in Registration and on Google Classroom.

With #COP27 beginning today, it felt important to share something our pupils said last week at @1point5MAX: climate change feels overwhelming when you think it’s just your responsibility but more can be achieved when we work together and it gives you hope. #ClimateAction 🌎

[Learning for Sustainability at MGS @LfSatMGS]

You can read what our pupils had to say about @1point5MAX in this week’s newsletter.

Finalising plans for our @mgsonline climate actions.

Our main proposals are: using curricular time to learn about climate justice; contributing to the community through a litter pick and Eco Week; managing our plastic waste more responsibility; and educating our community.♻️🌱

Final day! @1point5MAX

Waiting to hear from the panel about what we’re ready to do at @mgsonline.

[Learning for Sustainability at MGS @LfSatMGS]

This afternoon the @mgsonline pupils have been focusing on their own problem statement for @1point5MAX: plastic being used excessively in school and in the community.

Solutions have been pitched and whittled down to our final three.
