Earth Hour

St Albans Secondary College Shines on 4 Earth Hour

What is Earth Hour?

Organised by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), every year hundreds of millions of people around the world in more than 7,000 cities in over 180 countries take part in this amazing global conservation movement. People do a wide range of things around the hour to show they care about our planet’s future. Led by our entrepreneurial Year 9 Advance class, the St Albans Secondary College community celebrated Earth Hour by switching off the lights on Thursday 22nd March and donating to the SolarBuddy fundraiser. SolarBuddy, an Australian based charity, proudly partnered with WWF-Australia for this year’s Earth Hour to provide solar lights to children living in remote communities in Papua New Guinea.
