Meet Our New Eco Warriors for the Academic Year! 🌿
This year, our eco team has doubled in size, and we’re excited to introduce our passionate new members who are eager to make a positive impact on our environment.”
On Monday 30th October Mr Dunphy led the Senior Sustainability Assembly and shared information about the efforts of our Eco warriors and encouraged more students to get involved.
The Eco Committee at DBS has been working tirelessly to finalise the school’s Eco-Schools Action Plan. The plan outlines the specific steps that the school will take to meet the requirements of the Eco-Schools program and become a recognized Eco-School. The committee, made up of dedicated students who are passionate about environmental sustainability, has been working on the plan for several months, and it is finally ready to be shared with the school community.
The Action Plan includes goals such as reducing food waste by 20% by the end of the academic year, reducing energy consumption by 15% by the end of the academic year and reducing the use of paper at our school by 10% within the next two years. The committee has also planned an eco-conference during STEAM week that will include interactive workshops, guest speakers and an exhibition of student work.
The committee members were excited to present their plan to the school community and gather feedback. They believe that the plan will not only make a positive impact on the environment but also provide valuable learning experiences for the students.
The finished document can be found on the school website at this button. We encourage everyone to take a look and provide feedback. The committee is committed to making the plan a success and is looking forward to working together with the school community to make it happen.

Denla British School introduces a new Litter Policy to maintain a clean and safe environment for everyone. Our policy prohibits littering on school grounds and encourages proper waste disposal in designated bins. Students will also be taught about the importance of keeping the school clean and the impact of litter on the environment during class. The school will promote the use of reusable water bottles and food containers, and encourage digital communication to reduce paper usage. To ensure the policy’s effectiveness, the school will occasionally organise litter pick-up campaigns and community service activities. The school will also collaborate with local authorities and organisations to raise awareness of the importance of keeping the environment clean. By working together, we can make a positive impact on reducing litter and preserving our planet for future generations. Please read our full Litter Policy for more information.
DBS Eco Warriors conducted an Environmental Review to assess our school’s sustainability practices and identify areas for improvement. Using the review, we have developed an action plan to make our school more environmentally friendly. Our review aligns with the WWF Eco-Schools framework, which guides schools towards sustainable practices. Check out our Environmental Review and learn about our sustainability journey.
