Green School

Allow the DBSAA’s school community to build a healthy and sustainable future.

The world is facing a Climate Change and as a result we are seeing global warming, natural disasters, scarcity of resources, loss of biodiversity, pollution, health problems and more.

The Green School Committee was founded in October 2022 by six parents, to allow the entire school community to join forces, fight climate change and by that to help our kids have a sustainable future. Currently, many students, parents and teachers have joined the committee and our movement is still growing.

The Green School is convinced that education can empower students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to address the climate challenges, now and in the future. In addition, schools are an important key to facilitate this sustainable transformation.
By going green there are benefits for:

• Students: improved health, attitude, wellbeing, and gain essential skills;
• DBSAA: improved positive image, reduction absenteeism, reduction resources, lower costs;
• Our Planet: reduced footprint, sustainable for future generations.

Basically, the Green School refuses to sit and do nothing, but instead to allow everybody in the school to help build a healthy future for our community and the planet.

Vision

The vision of the Green School is that the DBSAA and Community are contributing to a sustainable future and inspire others to do so as well
