Wellington College International is proud to announce the community’s continued dedication to sustainability. Anna Romero, who works closely with the international office, ensures that sustainability practices are consistently applied across all our schools. She recently led a program with Carbon Literacy Trust and eight Wellington pupils have been awarded the Carbon Literacy Certificate as part of Wellington College’s ongoing partnership with them. The program aims to build on our commitment to embedding sustainability into the heart of the Wellington education experience.
To qualify for certification, students were required to meet a high standard through both an individual and a group project. Individual projects focused on changing everyday habits to reduce carbon footprints, with each student receiving feedback on their action plan and encouraged to refine and resubmit it for maximum impact.
The group project, a collaborative effort by Sixth Formers, tackled larger-scale sustainability goals for Wellington College. The pupils identified strategic locations around the school for the installation of air and ground source heat pumps, aligning with SDG7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Their project, which promotes school-wide energy reduction, aims to educate the Wellington community on sustainable practices.
“When awarding these certifications, the Carbon Literacy Trust recognised our pupils’ impressive projects and their dedication to collaborative action. The Wellington community’s commitment to sustainability is evident, and empowering our students to make a difference is essential to building a sustainable future,” remarked Ana Romero.
This recognition highlights our collective commitment to fostering an environment that prioritises sustainability. Our students’ contributions reflect the global ethos of Wellington College, showing that our international network truly stands united in these efforts.
