TY Students Complete 8-Week Climate Literacy Programme

Written By Caroline Crowley

Ms K. Tobin’s Geography Transition Year class has successfully completed an 8-week Climate Literacy Programme in collaboration with Education for Sustainability.

Throughout the programme, students engaged in hands-on and practical learning activities that highlighted how small actions can have a meaningful impact. These included sewing skills to reduce clothing waste, exploring the impacts of fast fashion, and learning how to make more sustainable and conscious consumer choices.

Students also:

  • Created bird nests for installation around the school grounds to support local biodiversity

  • Examined the issue of plastic waste and its environmental impact

  • Learned about food miles and the importance of choosing local produce

  • Mentored first-year students, sharing their knowledge and promoting sustainability awareness within the school community

A huge thank you to Billy Jo for delivering such an engaging and informative session, and to Education for Sustainability for their support in delivering climate literacy education.
