Physical Environment
The physical environment at St. Ignatius Preparatory and Primary School embodies a deep commitment to sustainability, offering a welcoming and nurturing space for exercise, recreation, and reflection. Our sports facilities are designed not only to promote physical well-being but also to instil a sense of respect and care for creation, aligning with the Jesuit education ethos of holistic development. Through sports and physical activities, students are encouraged to cultivate discipline, teamwork, and a spirit of generosity, reflecting the Jesuit values of excellence, service, and the care for both the individual and the environment.
Environmental Education
St. Ignatius Preparatory and Primary School is committed to equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and dedication needed to become responsible stewards of the environment. Our aim is to inspire learners to actively contribute, both individually and collectively, to achieving and sustaining a harmonious balance between a high quality of life and environmental well-being. This commitment is in line with the National Curriculum Framework for compulsory education and emphasises the integration of environmental education into co-curricular activities, extra-curricular programs, and the initiatives led by the School Chaplaincy.
Waste, Water, and Energy Management
In alignment with the Jesuit tradition of fostering responsible stewardship of God’s creation, St. Ignatius Preparatory and Primary School is devoted to protecting the environment through an effective waste management program. We are committed to continuously improving our practices to minimise waste and promote a culture of care and respect for the Earth among our young learners.
Guided by the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or care for the whole person, St. Ignatius Preparatory and Primary School emphasises the wise and sustainable use of water. By adopting best management practices, we aim to instil in our students a deep appreciation for this vital resource, ensuring that our educational efforts serve as a model of responsible stewardship for the broader community.
Reflecting the Jesuit commitment to social justice and care for our common home, St. Ignatius Preparatory and Primary School is dedicated to reducing energy consumption and contributing positively to the energy grid. We strive to educate our stakeholders, especially our young students, on the importance of energy conservation, embedding these values into their daily lives as part of their holistic Jesuit education.
