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 instil a sense of awareness in children today, from the youngest Nursery or primary student to the oldest 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.
Conscious of our carbon footprint (the school had undertaken a carbon audit exercise with a team of external consultants), we are committed to making Paramount Public School an environmentally sustainable or ‘green’ school, as far as we can. We are associated with a number of NGOs, 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.
