School Council Launches ‘Switch Off Fortnight’ Campaign

We are excited to share some fantastic news that our School Council is leading an inspiring initiative called “Switch Off Fortnight,” aimed at promoting energy conservation and environmental awareness throughout our school community.

What is “Switch Off Fortnight”?
“Switch Off Fortnight” is a campaign designed to encourage everyone at St Bede’s to be mindful
of their energy consumption. For two weeks, starting from Monday 11th November, we will focus
on switching off lights, computers, and other electronic devices when they’re not in use. This
small change can make a big difference in reducing our carbon footprint and helping the
environment.

Why Are We Doing This?
The School Council believes that everyone has a part to play in protecting our planet. By
reducing energy consumption, we can not only help the environment but also save on electricity
costs, which can be redirected towards other school needs. This campaign is a great
opportunity for students, staff, and the whole school community to come together for a common
cause.
