Students Awarded for Contribution to Conservationism

The John Muir Award at the College has been successfully running alongside the Survive & Thrive programme for over a year now and encourages students in Years 7 and 8 to observe and conserve the 'wild spaces' around them - both at the College and at home. The students get the opportunity to participate in a number of activities every Wednesday afternoon to stretch and challenge them, learn life skills, build resilience and leadership, and take part in activities such as wildlife conservation, climate workshops, making bug hotels, map reading, cycling and more.

One group of students who took part in the John Muir Award last year, were delighted to learn that they had been awarded Gold Certificates by the John Muir Award for their contribution to the programme over the course of the year, including planting and maintaining the Woodland Trust donated hedge located between the Tennis Centre and Lower School.
