What is Global Citizenship?
Global Citizenship
For us, being a Global Citizen means looking beyond our walls and accepting our shared responsibility for the future.
Our understanding of Global Citizenship is built around three interconnected pillars—Planet, People, and World—all rooted in sustainability.
- Planet (Earth): Valuing our natural environment and learning how to protect shared resources.
- People (Society): Fostering empathy, ethical behaviour, and respect for diversity in our local and global community.
- World (Systems): Understanding the social, political, and economic factors that shape global equity and progress.
At its core, Global Citizenship is about thinking long-term and ensuring our actions today positively impact the future, extending far beyond our own lifetime. We empower our students, staff, and wider community to be active advocates and ethical role models for this vital work.

What Does Global Citizenship Mean for Our School Community?
We understand Global citizenship to focus on three main areas: the planet (Earth), society (People) and social, political and economic factors (World) with sustainability at their core. We understand a key aspect of sustainability to focus on the future, extending beyond our lifetime and the importance of taking responsibility for this now. We think it is important to ensure that our students, but also our more immediate and wider community engage with, advocate and role-model responsible and ethical behaviour.
Global Citizenship Day 2025
Global Citizenship Day 2025 was a day of creativity, collaboration, and inspiration. Students across all year levels took part in engaging workshops focused on sustainability, equality, and innovation. From MYP1 focusing on waste to DP1/CP1 focusing on eco-tourism, every activity encouraged learners to think globally and act locally.
The day celebrated student voice and teamwork, highlighting how small actions can lead to big impact. The energy, enthusiasm, and reflection shown by everyone made it a truly memorable event.
