Laudato Si Schools Scotland 

CHANGE FOR GOOD

Why? 

We are all called to be 

stewards of God’s creation. 

In his letter, Laudato Si and more recently in his 

invitation to create a global education compact, Pope 

Francis asks us to love God, look after each other and 

protect the world. He tells us about the challenges we 

are facing in our world and asks us to make things 

better. 

That’s why Scottish schools are being invited to 

become Laudato Si Schools: to love God, look after 

each other and protect the earth. 

Why Laudato Si Schools? 

We want to reach a point of being Laudato Si people, 

but it is really hard to do that on our own. Sometimes 

it is easier to start together and help each other by 

working as a school, with friends and family. 

Also, Pope Francis says that education and schools are 

about more than information: they are about forming 

good habits. He tells us we have a duty to care for 

creation through little daily actions, and says it is 

wonderful how education can bring about real changes 

in lifestyle. Schools are a great place to start! 

We know that Catholic schools in Scotland want to 

join Pope Francis and make a CHANGE FOR GOOD! 

CHANGE FOR GOOD 1

“ 

God said, ‘See, I have given you 

every plant yielding seed that is 

upon the face of all the earth, 

and every tree with seed in its 

fruit; you shall have them for 

food. And to every beast of the 

earth, and to every bird of the air, 

and to everything that creeps on 

the earth, everything that has the 

breath of life, I have given every 

green plant for food.’ And it was 

so. God saw everything that he had 

made, and indeed, it was very good. 

And there was evening and there 

was morning, the sixth day. 

Genesis 29:31 

“ 

Laudato Si Schools CHANGE FOR GOOD 

Take a look at the phrase CHANGE FOR GOOD. This 

sums up Laudato Si Schools! 

Laudato Si Schools celebrate all the things that 

Catholic schools do for the common good of all 

humanity; they are a positive and powerful force for 

God’s love in the world and their actions can help 

change what is bad or seemingly hopeless into 

something good. 

Most importantly Laudato Si Schools form habits that 

will be with us for the rest of our lives.

Laudato Si Schools Scotland

Laudato Si Schools promise to care 

for our common home 

As a Laudato Si School you are not working for an 

award, but pledge to make a CHANGE FOR GOOD in 

your school, homes, parishes and community. 

You will take 5 steps, asking questions about how you 

care for God’s creation, what more you could do and 

how that will help. 

Step 1. What are we doing? 

Step 2. What more can we do? 

Step 3. How can we maintain this? 

Step 4. How can we share this? 

Step 5. What is the impact? 

What? 

CHANGE FOR GOOD 3

Who? 

You! Everyone! 

Pope Francis wants the whole human family to act 

and has asked us to create an “educational village”. 

As soon as your school community makes the 

commitment to CHANGE FOR GOOD, you are a 

Laudato Si School. You will be working together with 

Pope Francis and Catholic schools across the country 

to love God, look after each other and protect the 

world. 

Where? 

Laudato Si Schools are 

anywhere and everywhere. 

You will work to make a CHANGE FOR GOOD in your 

classrooms, school building, school grounds, in your 

homes, parishes, local area, across the country and 

even in other parts of the world. 

Laudato Si Schools know that Pope Francis wants us to 

care for the whole earth and everyone who shares it, 

even the places we have not been and for people we 

haven’t met. 

4 


When?Now 

Pope Francis says that this is an urgent challenge. 

You can make the promise to change straight away. 

you don’t need to wait; you can start making small 

changes of your own. You can then use the Laudato Si 

Schools prayer service of commitment to make your 

promise to CHANGE FOR GOOD together as a school 

or a class. 

As a school community you may want to make the 

promise at a community Mass, during an assembly or 

in your classroom as part of morning prayer. You may 

want to do it right now, or wait until Catholic 

Education Week in November. 

Whenever you do it, remember to take some 

photographs or video and share it with SCES, SCIAF 

and Justice and Peace Scotland. Use the hashtag

How? 

Laudato Si schools learn, pray and act to 


“protect all life, to prepare for a better future, 

of justice, peace, love and beauty.” 

Learn, Pray, Act: 

As a Laudato Si School you will learn about the challenges 

we are facing in the world because of poverty, consumption 

of goods and disrespecting the earth and those who live on 

it; pray to live in harmony with God, with others, with 

nature and with ourselves; act as ambassadors for nature, 

seeking justice for the poor, having a commitment to 

society, and building peace. 

Laudato Si Schools learn, pray and act in lots of small and 

big ways to respect the earth and those who live on it, 

making a CHANGE FOR GOOD.

Message from Pope Francis 

In the message below, Pope Francis is talking directly 

to schools about how we can make a CHANGE FOR 

GOOD. He gives us ideas of what we can do and, as 

importantly, the impact our actions can have. Will you 

answer his call? 

“Education in environmental responsibility can encourage 

ways of acting which directly and significantly affect the 

world around us, such as avoiding the use of plastic and 

paper, reducing water consumption, separating refuse, 

cooking only what can reasonably be consumed, showing 

care for other living beings, using public transport or carpooling, 

planting trees, turning off unnecessary lights, or 

any number of other practices. All of these reflect a 

generous and worthy creativity which brings out the best 

in human beings. Reusing something instead of 

immediately discarding it, when done for the right 

reasons, can be an act of love which expresses our own 

dignity. 

We must not think that these efforts are not going to 

change the world. They benefit society, often unbeknown 

to us, for they call forth a goodness which, albeit unseen, 

inevitably tends to spread. Furthermore, such actions can 

restore our sense of self-esteem; they can enable us to 

live more fully and to feel that life on earth is 

worthwhile.” (#211 & 212)

we get 

involved? 

Invitation 

Part one: Invitation 

As you may guess, this part invites schools to commit 

to being a Laudato Si School and to make a promise to 

respond to the social and ecological crisis in our world. 

SCES has prepared a service of commitment that you 

can use to make your promise. Remember, this is not 

an award, it is a promise to respond to the Pope’s 

challenge, so as soon as your school has made this 

pledge, you are a Laudato Si School. 

Laudato Si Schools is in three parts 


11

LEARN 

PRAY 

A CT 


Part two: Learn-Pray-Act asks schools to use the 

teaching of Pope Francis as the inspiration for Learning, 

Prayer and Action. 

Each year you will use the Pope’s words from Laudato Si to 

focus your work. 

You can then use the Resource Pack with links to This Is Our 

Faith and E&Os in other curricular areas to plan learning. 

Resources, good practice and work from partner agencies 

will assist you as you learn, pray and act on the Pope’s 

words. Remember, these are suggestions and you can add to 

them if you want. How you use the Resource Pack is flexible 

to allow any school to be able to participate in the award. 

Part three: CHANGE FOR GOOD involves 

schools sharing how they are meeting Pope Francis’ challenge, 

including the ways in which they are creating good habits 

(making the changes sustainable). 

As a school you will identify your current practice; create a 

plan to build upon and sustain your commitment; grow the 

capacity of your school community; share your story and 

celebrate the impact they are having. 

5 challenge questions will be used to record and report on 

your progress.

Part 1: 

Invitation 

Laudato Si Schools CHANGE FOR 

GOOD is an invitation to all schools to respond to 

the call to be stewards of God’s creation. The Holy 

Father challenges us to do this in his encyclical, 

Laudato Si, and his global compact on education 

during 2020. 

To accept this invitation and become a Laudato Si 

School, you will make a commitment, as a community 

of faith and learning, to CHANGE FOR GOOD. 

When you ‘RSVP’ to this invitation, we will send you 

the schools’ pack that will have all of the information 

and resources that you need, including a Prayer Service 

of Commitment to use. It is that simple. As soon as 

you accept the invitation and promise to love God, 

look after each other and protect the world you are a 

Laudato Si School, starting your journey to CHANGE 

FOR GOOD. 


17

Here is an extract from Pope Fancis’ invitation to the world from September 2019, 

where he asks us all to become an “educational village”. 

Dear Brothers and Sisters, 

In my Encyclical Laudato Si’, I invited everyone to cooperate in caring for our common home and to confront together the challenges that 

we face. Now, a few years later, I renew my invitation to dialogue on how we are shaping the future of our planet and the need to employ the 

talents of all, since all change requires an educational process aimed at developing a new universal solidarity and a more welcoming society. 

Every change calls for an educational process that involves everyone. There is thus a need to create an “educational village”, in which all 

people, according to their respective roles, share the task of forming a network of open, human relationships. According to an African 

proverb, “it takes a whole village to educate a child”. We have to create such a village before we can educate. In the first place, the ground 

must be cleared of discrimination and fraternity must be allowed to flourish. 

In this kind of village it is easier to find global agreement about an education that integrates and respects all aspects of the person, uniting 

studies and everyday life, teachers, students and their families, and civil society in its intellectual, scientific, artistic, athletic, political, 

business and charitable dimensions. An alliance, in other words, between the earth’s inhabitants and our “common home”, which we are 

bound to care for and respect. An alliance that generates peace, justice and hospitality among all peoples of the human family, as well as 

dialogue between religions. 

To reach these global objectives, our shared journey as an “educating village” must take important steps forward. First, we must have the 

courage to place the human person at the centre. To do so, we must agree to promote formal and informal educational processes that 

cannot ignore the fact that the whole world is deeply interconnected…In the development of a integral ecology, a central place must be given 

to the value proper to each creature in its relationship to the people and realities surrounding it, as well as a lifestyle that rejects the throwaway 

culture. 

18 Laudato Si Schools Scotland

Another step is to find the courage to capitalize on our best energies, creatively and responsibly. To be proactive and confident in opening 

education to a long-term vision unfettered by the status quo. This will result in men and women who are open, responsible, prepared to listen, 

dialogue and reflect with others, and capable of weaving relationships with families, between generations, and with civil society, and thus to 

create a new humanism. 

A further step is the courage to train individuals who are ready to offer themselves in service to the community. Service is a pillar of the 

culture of encounter: “It means bending over those in need and stretching out a hand to them, without calculation, without fear, but with 

tenderness and understanding, just as Jesus knelt to wash the Apostles’ feet. Serving means working beside the neediest of people, 

establishing with them first and foremost human relationships of closeness and bonds of solidarity”.[1] In serving others, we experience that 

there is more joy in giving than in receiving (cf. Acts 20:35). In this regard, all institutions must be open to examining the aims and methods 

that determine how they carry out their educational mission. 

I encourage you to work together to promote, through a global compact on education, those forward-looking initiatives that can give 

direction to history and change it for the better. 

Let us seek solutions together, boldly undertake processes of change and look to the future with hope. I invite everyone to work for this 

alliance and to be committed, individually and within our communities, to nurturing the dream of a humanism rooted in solidarity and 

responsive both to humanity’s aspirations and to God’s plan. 

I look forward to seeing you. Until then, I send you my greetings and my blessing. 

Pope Francis 

From the Vatican, 12 September 2019.

Part 2: 

Learn, 

Pray, Act 

This Is Our Faith describes the 

framework for planning learning and 

teaching within Religious Education, 

using the four dimensions of Christian 

life as set out in the Catechism: Faith 

Professed, Faith Celebrated, Faith Lived, 

Faith Prayed. 

Laudato Si Schools uses these same dimensions, 

(summarised as Learn, Pray, Act), to offer a balanced 

way to approach the way that we CHANGE FOR GOOD. It 

is hoped that pupils, and the whole school community, 

will participate in a range of learning and teaching 

across each of these so as to understand the 

interconnectedness of each them. If we Act without 

Learning the reasons why or considering the impact of 

our actions, we could be placing our energy into the 

wrong projects. Similarly, if we only Learn facts without 

Praying for the courage and commitment to make a 

change, then our learning is just a ‘citizenship’ activity, 

and is not driven by our faith commitment. By 

balancing all three elements we aim to make our 

changes sustainable, purposeful and for the good of all. 

20 


Schools can use the resource cards to plan the 

Learning, Prayer and Action to suit the way that they 

are working as a Laudato Si School. As with the three 

parts of Laudato Si Schools, every school can use the 

resource cards in a different way. 

You may want to do a series of classroom lessons first, 

providing the knowledge and understanding of the 

subject matter, then move into a period of prayer and 

reflection on what you have learned, and finally make 

a decision on the best way to put your learning and 

prayer into action. 

Others may start by including prayers on the themes 

of Laudato Si into daily prayer routines, introducing 

the main teachings from Pope Francis and the Church 

and then moving on to planned learning and 

simultaneous action – where pupils learn about a 

particular area, for example water consumption, and 

also act to change their habits in this area. 

Others still may create a learning model where all 

three elements are covered within the school at the 

same time. There may be a morning assembly with 

prayers and learning content, with pupils all acting 

from that point. For example, care for wildlife may be 

introduced using the resources for learning and prayer, 

and then each class acts in a different way, some 

planting seeds for flowering plants to attract bumble 

bees, others completing the RSPB bird watch and other 

classes writing to the local community council to 

campaign for the local pond to be cleaned. 


21

In the same way that there should be a balance 

between Learning, Prayer and Action, it is also helpful 

to consider a mixture of personal and joint approaches 

to each element. Laudato Si Schools is intended to 

help change the culture of schools and the habits of 

individuals. Therefore, consideration should be given 

to ways to allow young people to take personal 

responsibility for their Learning, Prayer and Action, 

depending on their age and maturity. There are ideas 

within the resource cards for things that pupils can do 

on their own and with others, with or without the help 

of an adult, in the school and in other places, 

physically and virtually. 

The Learning, Prayer and Action begins with the Pope’s 

Encyclical Laudato Si: On Care for our common home. 

12 quotes have been chosen from the Pope’s letter. 

Each resource card develops one of these key 

messages using lesson ideas, Scripture, Church 

Teaching, suggestions for participation in sacramental 

celebrations, and resources from charities and 

agencies who work in areas relating to the themes and 

ideas for action. 

It is hoped that the flexibility of Laudato Si Schools 

will mean that children and young people of all ages 

and all abilities will find a positive way to CHANGE 

FOR GOOD.

Quotes 

adapted from Laudato Si – 

“On Care for Our Common Home” 

Pope Francis 

“ 

1. What kind of world do we want to leave to 

those who come after us, to children who are 

growing up now? (#160) 

2. Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s 

handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is 

not an optional or a secondary aspect of our 

Christian life. (#217) 

3. There are not two crises, one environmental 

and one social, but one complex crisis. The 

solution means we have to combat poverty, 

restore dignity to the excluded and protect 

nature (#139) 

4. [We need to ask] questions of justice in 

debates on the environment, so as to hear 

both the cry of the earth and the cry of the 

poor. (#49) 

“ 

24 


“ 

5. Christians “realize that their responsibility 

within creation, and their duty towards nature 

and the Creator, are an essential part of their 

faith.” (#64). 

6. …the teachings of the Gospel have direct 

consequences for our way of thinking, feeling 

and living…spirituality can motivate us to a 

more passionate concern for the protection of 

our world. (#216) 

7. The current global situation has become a 

“seedbed for collective selfishness.” When 

people become self-centred their greed 

increases. The emptier a person’s heart is, the 

more he or she needs things to buy, own and 

consume. (#204) 

“ 

8. “Purchasing is always a moral – and not simply 

economic – act.” This shows us the great need 

for a sense of social responsibility on the part 

of consumers. (#206)(#205) 

“ 

9. Many things have to change course, but it is 

we human beings above all who need to 

change. (#202) All is not lost. Human beings… 

are also capable of rising above themselves, 

choosing again what is good, and making a 

new start… (#205) 

10. Along with the importance of little everyday 

gestures, social love moves us to create larger 

strategies to stop environmental poverty and 

to encourage a “culture of care” which 

permeates all of society. (#231) 

11. Access to safe drinkable water is a basic and 

universal human right. (#29) 

12. If we are truly concerned to develop an 

ecology capable of remedying the damage we 

have done, no branch of the sciences and no 

form of wisdom can be left out, and that 

includes religion and the language particular 

to it. (#63) 

“ 


25

As a school community you may 

decide to focus on one or two quotes 

per year. Alternatively, each class or 

year group could pick their own 

quote as their choice for the year. 

Once you have chosen which quote that you want to 

focus on, use the resource cards for that quote and 

pick the learning, prayer and action that you will 

undertake. Remember that you don’t have to do 

everything on the resource cards! 

The quotes have been chosen as a way to introduce 

the Pope’s teaching on care for our common home. 

The language has been adapted, so that they are 

accessible to all schools and all pupils. However, the 

encyclical has many other rich and important lessons 

contained within it. Therefore, staff CLPL sessions and 

senior phase RE classes may want to explore the 

encyclical in an holistic way or consider the quotes in 

their original context by looking at the entire 

paragraph/section that they are from.

Part 3: 

Change 

for Good 

Schools can move through the 

“CHANGE FOR GOOD” steps of 

Laudato Si Schools at their own pace. 

As this is a pledge and not an award, you are not 

trying to ‘finish’, but rather change the culture of your 

school. 

Schools should plan to work through the steps of 

Laudato Si Schools over a number of years. The steps 

help you identify your current practice; create a plan 

to build upon and sustain your commitment; grow as a 

school community; share your story and celebrate the 

impact they are having. 

When you begin your journey you will receive a wall 

display that will help to show your progress.

When you have explored a question, you are asked to 

send an update to SCES. This will be used to share 

ideas and good practice with other Laudato Si Schools. 

Being a Laudato Si School is a commitment to change 

the culture and habits within your school, therefore 

the update to SCES is not to ‘assess’ if you have 

successfully “changed for good”, but to share your 

progress with the Catholic education community in 

Scotland.

31

STEP 1 

We made our commitment to be a Laudato Si 

school during Catholic Education Week. We 

asked every member of our school community 

to make a list of all the things we are already 

doing through our learning, prayer times and 

faith action to love God, love our neighbour 

and love our world. 

Once we had the lists our pupil council 

created a #ChangeForGood chart, listing all 

we were doing in order, according to how 

many times it had been mentioned. We put 

our chart up in the gym hall during Lent. For 

the rest of the school year, whenever we did 

something linked to our chart we took a photo, 

or wrote a note and added it to the wall. 

In June we looked at everything we had said 

and done and celebrated our success during 

our school award ceremony. 

STEP 3 

We invited in a guest from the council to 

talk about sustainability and asked for 

advice on ways to keep our commitment to 

not waste food and water. We decided to 

buy water butts, to collect rain water, to use 

on our school garden. We also looked at 

reducing portions in the school dinner hall, 

giving pupils the chance to go for a second 

helping if they were still hungry, rather than 

giving everyone a big portion that they may 

not finish. 

STEP 5 

We looked at the measurable aspects of what 

we had done but also talked to pupils and 

staff about how the changes made them feel. 

We have decreased the food waste in the 

dinner hall by 60% and we are working on 

ways to reduce that further. We now only 

use recycled water for our school garden. Our 

parent council helped us to buy reusable 

water bottles for every pupil in the school and 

we no longer have single use water bottles 

anywhere on school grounds. Pupils only fill 

their water bottles half way now too, as we 

found that many were emptying water out 

when they wanted to refresh their water to 

cold water.Our pupil council did a survey to 

find out how people felt about the changes. 

There was an overwhelmingly positive 

response with pupils, parents and staff saying 

they felt “happier” “responsible”, “positive 

change” and “just part of the school now”. 

Our new pupil council looked at all of the 

things we had been doing to see if there were 

any things that everyone COULD do, but not 

everyone WAS doing. They then looked at the 

items at the bottom of our chart, that had been 

identified as going on in the school, but very 

few were doing them. 

The pupil council made a plan based on the 

things that everyone could do. They identified 

two things – daily prayer and daily good 

habits – and challenged the whole school to 

do them. Now, our morning prayer always 

ends with an adapted version of Pope Francis’ 

prayer from Laudato Si. The pupil council 

also thought that reducing food and water 

waste were two daily good habits everyone 

could do. We made posters of the most 

common ways to stop wasting food and water 

and put these around the school, on our social 

media platforms and in our newsletter. 

STEP 2 

During each step we always shared our 

progress with the school community. To add 

to this sharing we decided to work as a 

cluster as our cluster schools are all 

Laudato Si schools too. We dedicated one of 

the twilight CLPL sessions to sharing good 

practice. Each school made a presentation 

of their progress across the 3 steps, so far. 

In groups we then talked through the 

positives we had gained and the challenges 

we had faced. Each school then decided 

which ideas they would want to take on 

board. During Catholic Education Week we 

used our time with our local parishes to tell 

them what we had been doing. Our pupils 

also wrote articles for the local press – 

these told the story of how they had been 

learning, praying and acting on the Pope’s 

words and also of how we were slowly 

changing our habits in school.
