Eco School

Representing every class at the Claremont Prep school, Eco Leads drive initiatives to educate and empower the whole school community to create a sustainable future. They improve awareness on the topic, take part in useful projects like building bat boxes and help out at our Eco Shop, open every Friday. 

Students learn sustainability, respect for each other and other global issues in Geography, Science, Maths and Art classes.
