SUSTAINABILITY

PROJECTS

Beaulieu Preparatory School recently
hosted an event where its Grade 7
students showcased their sustainability
projects; it was a celebration of creativity,
critical thinking and their commitment to
building a better future.
Students delved into the impact of
the Fourth Industrial Revolution on
sustainability, weighing its benefits
and ethical considerations. In Natural
Sciences, they researched renewable
energy and designed concept cars
powered by solar, wind and biofuel energy.
They also used their entrepreneurial flair to
create games and toys for younger pupils,
emphasising the importance of reducing,
recycling, recovering and reusing.
The event also highlighted the importance
of sustainability in education, aligning
with global initiatives like the UN's 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development and
South Africa’s National Development Plan
2030.
These projects brought to life the idea that
sustainability isn’t just something to learn
about—it’s something to live and breathe
every day. Educators work constantly to
include sustainability in the curriculum.
