The Ridge School, renowned for its commitment to holistic education and instilling values of responsibility and leadership in its learners, took part in World Environment Day earlier this month.
The school’s young boys have taken a resolute pledge for the environment, vowing to reduce pollution and positively impact Earth’s conservation through tangible actions in their everyday lives.
Under the guidance of their dedicated teachers, the boys have enthusiastically embraced the ideals of sustainability, recognising the urgent need to protect and preserve our planet for future generations. Their pledge demonstrates a remarkable level of awareness and commitment to creating a greener and healthier world.
Headmaster, Frank Rumboll, expressed his admiration for the boys’ dedication and sense of responsibility, stating, “I am immensely proud of our boys for taking this important step in safeguarding our environment. By committing themselves to make a positive impact, they are setting an inspiring example for their peers and future generations.”
Felipe Robert, a Grade 1 learner at the school, said in his pledge: “I’m going to switch off the lights when I leave the room.”
Zaeem Thokan, Grade 2, committed to recycling paper, plastic, and glass and picking up litter when walking around.
Grade 5 learner James Olivier said: “I pledge to use reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags, to use lunch boxes instead of plastic packaging, to turn off the water while I brush my teeth, and to take shorter showers.”
World Environment Day on 5 June is a global platform to raise awareness and encourage action for environmental protection.
