QEII High School’s Environmental and Sustainability Day

On Wednesday 13th October 2021 QEII High School had a ‘drop-down’ day to enable everyone within our QEII community to learn about the following:

• The global topic of Sustainability and looking after the environment
• Understand what is going on in the Isle of Man with regards to Sustainability and Climate Change
• Discuss ideas and plans as to what we can do for the community on the Isle of Man

Year 7 – Sustainability

Year 8 – Biodiversity

Year 9 – Renewable Energy 

Year 10 – Mock Cop26 conference and a hands on session at the school greenhouse

Year 11 – “ All about rubbish”

Year’s 12 and 13 – linked with all year groups.

By the end of the day we will be hopefully be able to:

• Describe the current situation that faces humanity concerning climate change and what we could do to bring about positive change on IOM.
•  Explain why the current situation is unsustainable and why we must start caring for our environment and resources more responsibly.
• Personally analyse the best way you could help ensure resources and the environment are used responsibly and sustainably, on a local and global level.
