There are a great many potential areas that the school can focus upon on our journey to continue to become a sustainable school. The four strategic dimensions (Capacity, Community, Campus and Curriculum) that guide school development are embodied in this diagram that shows what our school believes in and stands for. This student-created diagram captures the ethos of our school. It shows the characteristic spirit of our community as manifested in our attitudes and aspirations. 

Central to this is our student profile, polio points reward system and our student ‘motto’ of togetherness and community. Encircling this is our continued journey to sustainability in everything that we do at JIS. Beyond this are the Sustainable Development Goals, a blueprint to achieve a more equitable, peaceful and sustainable world for everyone. 

Earth Week is an annual event held at JIS. It aims to raise awareness of the current man-made factors affecting our planet and how we, as a school community, can contribute to the solution. The theme this year was 'Earth vs Excessive Consumption'.

From Reef Ball Construction to House Green Business sales at the ODC, students were truly immersed with hands-on activities that rejuvenate the planet and understand the harm of excessive consumption and to reduce that. Students were exposed to some of the wonderful sustainable local businesses that came onto campus to display their products too. We are proud to say that this year's Earth Week was yet again, a huge success!
