Sustainable Solutions Day is a celebration of learning and collaboration for a more sustainable future! This whole-school event unites student voices, solution-makers, and community members to share ideas and inspire action. This year, we brought our entire community together to exchange knowledge and solutions for sustainable living—showcasing how Green School students embody critical thinking and problem-solving at every level of their education.

The event featured:

Lower School Student-Led Conferences, where young learners demonstrated their ability to assess challenges and present their own sustainability solutions. The conference included the creation of a sustainable paper alternative and many more.

Middle School Integrated Study Unit (ISU) presentations, where students showcased their research and engaged in discussions about real-world problems. For example, some of our students have showcased their coffee knowledge by exploring how to produce and process it sustainably.

The Sustainable Solutions Expo, a vibrant exhibition where High School students presented class projects and independent initiatives, alongside contributions from across the school.

The Sustainable Tourism Talk: For High School students, the event features a class-led symposium. Students explored Bali’s tourism industry, examining both its benefits and challenges. They learned from real-world case studies and local experts while developing solutions for more sustainable tourism. Using science, math, and literacy, they created ideas that supported both people and the planet.

This was more than just a showcase—it was an interactive platform for discussion, collaboration, and action. Students didn’t just present ideas; they analysed, refined, and engaged with the community to create meaningful solutions.

Some standout student-led projects included:

  • Bamboo bicycles – an innovative approach to sustainable transportation

  • Biodynamic cooking demonstrations – exploring responsible food practices and sustainable sourcing

  • A thriving thrift market – tackling overconsumption and promoting mindful consumer choices

  • Mycelium filtration systems – harnessing natural processes to improve water quality

Preparing Students for an Unpredictable Future

The world our children will inherit is one of complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change. At Green School, we believe education should do more than prepare students for what is—it should empower them to shape what could be.

Sustainable Solutions Day is a testament to that belief. Throughout the event, it was clear that Green School students are not just learning about sustainability—they are applying their knowledge to tackle real-world challenges. They don’t just see problems; they see opportunities. They challenge existing systems, experiment with solutions, and lead conversations that drive change.

At the heart of Sustainable Solutions is a mindset—one that values critical thinking, resilience, and action. This event isn’t just about showcasing ideas; it’s about igniting a lifelong commitment to problem-solving and positive impact.

It was an inspiring day, led by the creativity, passion, and determination of our students. By bringing together students, teachers, parents, and the broader community, Sustainable Solutions reaffirmed that education at Green School is about more than learning—it’s about empowering young minds to create a regenerative future, one idea at a time.
