The green area behind the secondary staff car park (opposite gyms) has been designated a GreenSpace in a joint initiative by the Global Issues Network student group at secondary with a small but dedicated band of secondary and primary staff. In cooperation with three green landscape architects/nature guides the plot is currently worked by a group of Primary and Secondary students, who are creating an inventory of all plant-, tree- and wildlife on site. Environmental awareness comes with hands-on experience. From September onwards GreenSpace will be developed further to offer scope for educational and extra-curricular activities on our ISH campus. A bird observatory, a botanical  garden, a glass house project, a plot with fruit trees, a water project are among the plans being considered. We would very much welcome parental involvement in this whole-school initiative. If you would like to join us to give your green fingers some exercise and/or help in the planning please contact me.
