The Secondary Eco-Schools Programme

During Years 10 and 11, students at Lucaya International School have the opportunity to join our Eco-Committee. Led by passionate students and supported by dedicated teacher advisers, our Eco Club is making a positive impact on campus every day.

Lucaya International School became an Eco-School in 2018 and proudly earned the Green Flag Award, an international recognition of our commitment to environmental excellence and stewardship.

In the fall of 2022, we earned our Eco Flag for the second time, underscoring our continued dedication to sustainability. Our Eco Club leads various initiatives, including composting projects, mangrove planting, hydroponics, trail maintenance around the Pond ecosystem, and charitable contributions.

Our teacher advisers are active participants in the annual Eco-School Workshop in Nassau, where they collaborate with educators from across the country, exchanging innovative ideas and best practices for Eco-Clubs. They also share our journey towards Green Flag status, inspiring others to follow our example in promoting eco-friendly practices.

Every week, we dedicate "Tidy Tuesday" to cleaning up our campus, reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a clean and green environment. We are also excited to announce that Lucaya International School is transitioning to solar power, and our Eco Club is forming a committee to educate and engage students on the benefits of this initiative for our school, city, and country.

Furthermore, we collaborate with professional environmental organizations such as the Bahamas National Trust, the Bahamas Bonefish Tarpon Trust, Coral Vita, and Waterkeepers to provide valuable education to our students, ensuring that our commitment to sustainability is both informed and impactful.

The Eco-Committee meets weekly to plan and execute environmental projects within the school and the local community. They also work closely with the Primary School Eco Club and visit the Early Years Eco Club, offering support for their projects and initiatives.
