In this edition of The Educator TV, we sat down with Carmelo Fedele, Head of Sustainability at International Grammar School. IGS was awarded as one of the winners for The Educator 5-Star Sustainable Programs for 2023, recognized for its broad scope of sustainability initiatives and hands-on approach to guiding students.
Under Fedele’s guidance, IGS has fostered a proactive approach to sustainability, encompassing a broad scope of topics such as climate change, biodiversity, resource management, and social justice. The school founded its student-led organisation “Sustainable Futures Group,” designed to engage students directly in environmentalism initiatives, cultivating a strong culture of sustainability within the school community.
Fedele underlined the serious nature of sustainability, stating: "Sustainability is about the future... the ultimate social justice issue".
Fedele’s dedication to integrating sustainability into the educational framework ensures that students carry forward a commitment to environmental leadership beyond their school experience.
