Day 4 | Saving Energy: Small Actions, Meaningful Change at Central Model School Khanewal, Pakistan

Can a school assembly inspire children to change everyday habits at home and in their community? At Central Model School Khanewal, our fourth day of climate learning through iLearnabout resources brought this idea to life.

Today, our students explored Saving Energy and discussed how simple everyday choices can help reduce energy waste and contribute to climate action.

Our students:

• Delivered short speeches about the importance of saving energy.
• Discussed practical ways to conserve electricity at school and at home.
• Kept the assembly lights and fans switched off for 20 minutes as a practical demonstration.
• Shared their intention to encourage their fathers and families to use motorcycles less where possible and consider walking or other alternatives for suitable short journeys.

One of the most encouraging moments was hearing young students connect their learning with family life. They were eager to take the message home and encourage their parents to make more responsible choices.

We are also collecting student feedback to understand what children have learned, which actions they intend to take, and how they are sharing these messages with their families. This feedback will help us document learning and emerging impact.

This one-week initiative is inspired by the iLearnabout Climate Change Teacher Guide and learning resources. We are grateful that iLearnabout has taken an interest in our school's work and shared our students' climate learning journey through its platforms.

In a resource-constrained school, we believe meaningful climate education does not always require expensive equipment. It can begin with awareness, student leadership and practical action.

Our message: Save energy today. Protect our tomorrow.
