EARTH Day may have been last Saturday, but the students of Mercy Mounthawk decided to celebrate it this Friday to raise awareness of environmental issues.

“We’ve put up a pledge about climate change where students vow to do their best to take care of the environment,” said Transition Year student, Nicole Chekall.

“We’re hoping as many students as possible sign it to fill it up. We’ve also created posters and banners around the school,” she said.

There was also a prayer service held in centenary hall to mark the day. Scroll down for photos…
