From Climate Action to Art

In response to their Climate Action Project in Geography, a group of students got creative and decided to support the women of the Kopanang Community Trust in South Africa while also raising awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. So they got busy using produce from the classroom garden to create pizzas to sell at lunchtime.

With the funds raised, they were able to commission a member of the Kopanang Community Trust to produce an artwork called Mother of Hope. This embroidery now sits proudly alongside our Student Services counter to remind all who visit of the importance of treading lightly on this increasingly fragile planet of ours. Congratulations to Aditi Kamath, Isabella Yang, Tanisha Chari, Eloise Dahm and Carmel Mayo for all their work on this important project. And a big thanks to Sr Sheila for all her help in getting the embroidery to us.
