Year 9 Japanese **the excursion to St Leonards college was eventful. on Thursday the 18th of March, we went on an excursion to St. Leonards College to learn about sustainability. the school had a learning centre that was completly sustainable and very expensive to build. they used the floor as a heater in winter and had cardboard on the windows that had water running through it to make it cooler in the summer. the environmental strategies they used were very different to what st columbas use.towards the end we were informed that the bus had broken down, so we got the chance to have a thorough look at the school. St. Leonards had lots of plants, wildlife and sculptures to brighten up the school. St Leonards have windmills and solar panels, since we have none of those sorts of things we cant say that we are a very sustainable school**.

CERES going to ceres helped me gain lots of knowledge and experience to help me create a better future for myself made me think about how i would have an impact on the world of eco friendliness. the buildings and areas on the 10 acre premises of ceres all had an environmental elemant to it, weather it was growing vegies or making compost or houses out of hay. however, even though this experince was a vauble one it didnt help me expand my knowldege on japan and sustainability there.
