Our commitment to the Environment

We aim to develop the next generation to become responsible, influential and inspiring leaders. One of the greatest challenges we are facing as a population is environmental change. It is our aim to instill a sense of awareness in children today, from the youngest Nursery to the oldest Primary student, so that they can start to reduce their carbon footprint and help to protect the earth for tomorrow. We believe that awareness needs to be accompanied by the ability to take informed action, both locally and on global issues.

We have introduced a new initiative called "MOTHER EARTH" which will allow for a stronger and more sustainable commitment of students across the Secondary School to a genuine outreach program. The initiative will be led and planned by students of the school who will be interacting with NGOs that deal with environmental issues.

Conscious of our carbon footprint, we are committed to making the Olive Public School an environmentally sustainable or 'green' school, as far as we can. We aspire to get associated with NGOs and passionate environmentalists to run the Environment Club at school. The environment is about people, places, and spaces, not just the physical environment. We believe in the power of education in helping young people to shape their future environments in an informed and socially just manner.
