Our students recently took part in a Mock COP31 event alongside 11 other Catholic schools, with each school representing a different country. Our students had the exciting challenge of representing Türkiye (Turkey) as the host country.

COP31 is the 31st annual Conference of Parties, a global climate change summit. 

Each country was required to deliver a speech to fellow delegates, highlighting the climate challenges they face, what they are currently doing to tackle these issues and what further action they are planning.

Our students rose to the challenge brilliantly, delivering their speech with confidence, enthusiasm and passion. They impressed representatives with their knowledge, ideas, and engagement throughout the event.

The day also provided a fantastic opportunity to make new contacts and explore future workshops, as well as consider further ways we can build on our already strong sustainability practices in school.

We are incredibly proud of how our students represented our school and demonstrated such confidence, teamwork and commitment to tackling global climate issues!
