We were absolutely delighted to welcome Ms. Catherine Healy back to our classroom this week as a very special guest speaker! Catherine has kindly volunteered her time to teach us all about sustainability and the impact of our carbon footprints on the planet. 

With her clear explanations, fun activities, and passionate energy, the girls were fully engaged from start to finish. They learned how everyday actions – like how we travel, what we eat, and how we use water and electricity – can all affect the Earth.

Catherine showed us how even small changes can make a big difference, and the girls loved discovering new ways to be more eco-friendly at school and at home.

We especially enjoyed:

  • Exploring our own carbon footprints through interactive questions

  • Talking about how to reduce waste and save energy

  • Creating our own “Eco Promises” to help protect the planet

It was a fun, eye-opening session and we’re so grateful to Catherine for sharing her time and knowledge with us. The girls came away inspired and excited to take action.
