Less Waste Laura Visits VTO
We welcomed climate activist and influencer Laura Young (Less Waste Laura) to our St Michael’s Learning Hub to deliver a sustainability focussed session to our pupils.
The learning didn’t stop there though and we have rolled out new sustainability resources to all of our Learning Hubs.
The Learning Hub project is supported by ScottishPower Foundation.
