Sustainability at Somerset College continues to grow through curiosity, collaboration, and student voice.
In this conversation, students sit down with our Chief Operating Officer, David Thornton, to explore how the College is thinking about energy use, environmental responsibility, and the role students can play in shaping a more sustainable future.
From the impact of the College’s solar panels to the importance of initiatives such as Earth Hour, the discussion highlights how practical actions and everyday choices can contribute to meaningful change. It also reflects a shared commitment across the Somerset community to think carefully about how resources are used and how innovation can help reduce our environmental footprint.
Importantly, the conversation emphasises that sustainability is not only about infrastructure or technology, it is also about awareness, engagement, and the momentum created when students take an active role in the conversation.
By encouraging questions, ideas, and participation, Somerset continues to foster a culture where students feel empowered to contribute to initiatives that benefit both the College and the wider community.
