Last week, Key Stage 3 pupils had the opportunity in their
Geography classes to learn about COP26 and to think about their own carbon footprint.
On Friday some of our Year 8 pupils took part in the Great Big Lesson on Climate & Nature with speakers from all around the world taking part! They explored the impact of climate change on nature and received some practical tips on how they can make a difference.
The Eco Club has also been getting involved in Switch off Fortnight and is encouraging us all to reduce our electricity usage in school and at home. What a week and how fantastic to see our young people take ownership of their future and the planet! #bhsgeography #be the change #iampartofballyclarehigh

It’s great to see our pupils thrive, but don’t they outgrow their uniforms quickly? As the African proverb reminds us, it takes a village to raise a child, and we’re pretty sure we can make each other’s lives easier by pooling our resources! If you have any items of preloved uniform that are no longer needed, current pupils can drop them into the recycle bin in the front hall and they will be offered to pupils in our school community. A practical step towards sustainability! #sustainabilty #preloved #sharingtheload #notanothergrowthspurt #community #bettertogether #iampartofballyclarehigh
