With the guiding theme “Seeds of Change: A Blueprint for Whole School Sustainability,” the school has embraced a truly holistic approach where sustainability is not just taught—it is lived.
More Than a Subject: A Way of Life
At Fontenebro, sustainability goes far beyond the classroom. It’s woven into the daily lives of students, who take the lead in hands-on, impactful initiatives:
- They grow and care for their own vegetable garden.
- They nurture a ladybug habitat to promote biodiversity.
- They monitor rainfall and work on water conservation.
These real-world learning experiences empower students to connect deeply with the environment, fostering a lasting commitment to protecting our planet. It’s an education rooted in action—one that prepares young people for the challenges of the future.
