Dear Friends and Families of XP,
Over the course of the spring and summer terms, students in Year 10 in XP and XP East have been working on the Expedition ‘Power to the People!’ where they have studied energy production, electricity and the causes and impacts of climate change. Students have been working hard to answer the guiding question: Why do we need a sustainable energy plan for the planet?
It is our sincerest pleasure to announce to you the final product and culmination of the expedition which will take the form of our first Climate Conference. The conference will be led entirely by our students as they demonstrate activism, leadership and equity in informing the people of Doncaster and those further afield about the climate emergency and its very real and direct implications for Doncaster and the wider world. With guest speakers, climate experts and a conference centre with local businesses already doing their bit to tackle climate change, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the science behind climate change and what can be done to help combat this threat.
We would like to extend an invitation to all friends and families of XP and XPE students, but also to anyone who has a genuine interest in tackling the climate crisis by addressing our individual behaviours and our behaviours as a society. We’ll be releasing further information over the coming weeks so keep an eye out for updates on what promises to be a very special and very powerful event.
So please save the date; together we can tackle climate change. Together we can secure the future of our community. Together, We Are Crew.
We hope you can join us.
Mr Voltaire
