Waste-Free Lunch Week: Through a primary school initiative, students' model zero-waste practices by working with canteen staff to gather organic waste, which is then used in the edible garden patch composting project, reinforcing real-world learning about sustainability and circular resource use.
Primary Garden Tool Library: Families will be invited to participate in our green movement by donating or lending small tools for seasonal school projects, fostering community engagement and supporting hands-on environmental learning.
By blending curriculum innovation, creative engagement, and student leadership, ISL Qatar aims to empower teachers, learners and families to take meaningful action on sustainability and support Qatar’s national vision for environmental stewardship.
As part of our contribution to Qatar Sustainability Week 2025, our school community will focus on two student-led actions that give students an active role in protecting the planet:
Home Projects – Students will have the chance to create a sustainability project at home, together with their families. These projects could include posters, models, or small eco-friendly experiments. Once brought to school, the projects will be displayed for everyone to see, allowing students to proudly share their ideas and inspire their classmates.
“Little Changes, Big Impact” – Practical lifestyle changes that promote sustainable living.
The Nature Club will play the central role in coordinating, guiding, and motivating students across all grades to take part in these sustainability initiatives. The week will conclude with a Mega Culmination Event, bringing together the highlights of all activities, student presentations, and creative showcases to reinforce the message of building a greener and more sustainable future.
“Plant Today, Breathe Tomorrow” – Green earth activities including plantation drives and eco-friendly practices.
“Trash to Treasure” – Waste management and upcycling projects showcasing innovative ways of reusing materials.
Save Energy, Save Future – Student-driven initiatives and creative demonstrations on reducing energy consumption.
