Sustainability-literate

A QE pupil is confident that all he does, whether academically, socially, or in terms of his health, is sustainable over time. It also helps sustain his community: he does nothing that is to the detriment of the experiences or choices of those around him.

He is able to focus on how and why he learns – rather than on outcomes, such as examination results – understanding that with such an approach, learning is more sustainable in the long term. He is resilient and will comprehend the impact of making good choices (or bad ones) on his own life and on the environment.

He will be responsible in acquiring a good understanding of the complex systems that guide human biology and the environment so that the right choices may be made. In short, he is responsible in the areas of both personal and environmental sustainability, placing weight on the value of a healthy mind, healthy body, and a healthy environment, both locally and globally.
