Students at Three Oaks Senior High in PEI are retrofitting an unused shed to become an energy efficient and solar powered multipurpose outbuilding.
The Problem
Three Oaks Senior High is a school that’s very connected to their community. They frequently host big events, like school presentations, sports games, and races. In recent years they finally were able to build out some of their outdoor facilities, putting in a new sports field. However, the new field was far away from the kitchen where they used to prepare food that they’d sell during events to support their school.
The Solution
10
students and 4 teachers worked directly on the retrofitting of the shed and the team has put a sign on the shed describing its net-zero impact
100+
students and community members were educated and engaged during school events!
Lessons Learned
“We are hoping it will spark people to get outside, start asking questions about sustainability and the environment. If we can get people outside and enjoying the environment then they are going to care probably more for it.”
Ms. Sullivan, Teacher Lead
“It kinda feels like we almost cant make as much of an impact because we are not old enough to start big programs or get a group together but I mean, I think this is an example that we can.”
