Sustainability

Details and eligibility

This award will recognise an initiative being implemented as part of a school’s sustainability ethos.

Evidence should include how your initiative has gone beyond what the school should be delivering as an effective international school.

Your application must focus on one school initiative and address the following criteria:

• How and why the initiative has helped students develop attitudes to supporting the environment (either local or global environment)

• How and why the initiative has involved students in taking ownership of and operating an environmental initiative

• How and why the initiative demonstrates to the wider school community the impact of active environmental support

• How the initiative has been developed as a long-lasting initiative for the school; one that can be improved and developed over time and could be sustainable through successive staff changes

• Evidence of the strategies that are enabling this initiative to be shared with other schools (this could include links to details about this initiative on a public website, on public access YouTube video(s), through publicly accessible media, or details of community engagement, conference or workshop presentation)
