As part of our Earth Day celebrations, Ashbury proudly signed a Climate and Nature Leadership Pledge, committing to a future where sustainability leads the way in our decisions and our actions.

In September, a delegation of 13 students attended the Round Square International Conference in Colombia, which included 113 schools and brought over 900 delegates from 27 countries. Students participated in thought-provoking discussions following the keynote speakers. They had the opportunity to take part in many activities, including mask-making, constructing a chicken shed, and an awe-inspiring hike.
