CST In Action

SustFest '23

Throughout May and June, pupils were busy supporting the St Albans Sustainability Festival (SustFest) with a variety of projects. Our younger pupils planted seeds and successfully grew beans, radishes, lettuce and sunflowers. Year 3 pupils learnt more about recycling and ensured all their waste paper and card went in the correct bin. In Year 6, pupils created posters to remind others of the importance of not wasting water. Our Year 5 pupils led the way with a lunchtime gardening club, supported by our dedicated volunteer, Leslie-Ann. Together, they cleared weeds and planted new flower beds and a vegetable patch. We welcomed Virginia, a SustFest volunteer, to talk to us in assembly about other events taking place locally during the festival. 

Our aim is to continue with these initiatives, ensuring we are taking care of our common home, following the call from Pope Francis in Laudato Si. Pupils were reminded of the CST principles of Stewardship and Participation.
