Change Makers

At JCS, we strive to live in an environmentally mindful way and minimise our carbon footprint. From the design of our campus to our daily practices, the entire school community works thoughtfully to respect and protect the environment around us. As teachers, support staff and learners, we collectively aim to reduce waste, recycle wherever possible, conserve natural resources and source materials locally.

Our eco-conscious philosophy is embedded in everyday routines. Learners, staff, and families are encouraged not only to participate in our initiatives but also to contribute fresh ideas that strengthen our environmental efforts. JCS follows a clear reduce, reuse, recycle approach, and our colour-coded waste system enables even our youngest learners to take part responsibly.

A range of activities and programmes help deepen environmental understanding across the school. Guest speakers have introduced ideas such as rainwater collection and energy conservation; Waste Free Wednesdays encourage families to rethink food packaging; and our older learners take part in community projects such as beach clean-ups.

Central to our environmental vision is our teacher-led Change Makers initiative, a dynamic group of learners from Reception through to Secondary who meet regularly to champion sustainability across the school. These young leaders help design projects, raise awareness and inspire the JCS community to take purposeful action.

We remain committed to developing both short- and long-term plans to further reduce our environmental footprint. As we continue to grow, the JCS community will seek meaningful opportunities to contribute positively to the environment beyond our school grounds and form new partnerships that support a more sustainable future.
