Association of Principals of Catholic Schools<br />

Principals from Catholic schools across Trinidad visited the Trust for their semiannual<br />

Principals’ retreat. The Principals enjoyed the Environmental Education<br />

Programmes of the Trust and saw first hand how beneficial they are for their<br />

students.<br />

Environmental education<br />

plays an important part in<br />

Natural<br />

Resource<br />

Management. As pressures<br />

now being put on our society<br />

call for a new awareness,<br />

embracing plants, animals,<br />

and people.<br />

Environmental education is important in EVERY field of learning and endeavour<br />

and can be brought in and taught in any subject area of education.<br />

Environmental education and Public Awareness today is a matter of Survival and<br />

needs to be taken outdoors as well as being taught in schools.<br />

Outdoor learning is the extension of the learning experience beyond the four walls<br />

of the classroom, it is exciting and brings the WRITTEN WORD TO LIFE.<br />

Part of the aim of The Trust’s Environmental Programmes is to develop proper<br />

resource-use conscious citizens. We need to create a more caring and<br />

environmentally conscious people, whether doctors, lawyers, politicians or<br />

industrialists.
