Environmental Sustainability

Wellington pupils are embracing Action for Climate Empowerment, a programme of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change with the goal to empower young people to understand and participate in the transition to a low-emission, climate-resilient world. We applaud the work of our pupil groups, such as the Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Ambassadors, and of our Head of Sustainability, Ana Romero, who was invited to participate in COP27, the 27th annual UN Climate Conference that took place in Sharm el-Sheikh earlier in the academic year.

We are continuing with our programme of improvements to increase the sustainability of the operation of the College site. For example, we are halfway through the painstaking task of replacing the Chapel’s intricate lighting with low energy LED bulbs; and we are excited to have installed the ground source heat pumps that will heat our two planned new houses with low or no carbon emissions.
