The bright light project

The Gap State School, The Gap QLD – Year 7

We’ve formed a group called the Bright light project. We’re dedicated to reducing our school’s energy consumption and encouraging others to save energy.

To learn about energy efficiency, we:

• carried out whole-school energy checks, noting which classes were using energy wisely.

We’re encouraging others to use energy efficiently, by:

• creating and displaying posters in every classroom to remind teachers and students to turn off lights and powerpoints at the switch when they leave
• rewarding energy wise classes with certificates and treats
• leaving gentle reminders to classes who have forgotten to turn off their electrical appliances.
