Sixth Form students and tutors from Exmouth Community College have rolled up their sleeves and taken to the shoreline for a sun-soaked beach clean this term, combining environmental action with a celebration of student led fundraising.
In addition to collecting litter and helping protect the local coastline, students proudly handed over £563.68 raised this academic year to Surfers Against Sewage (SAS), a leading marine conservation charity. They were joined at the beach by Rod, a representative from SAS, who shared insights into the charity’s work fighting plastic pollution and protecting marine environments.
At Exmouth Community College, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, students are encouraged to develop strong morals and act with integrity. They are also taught about their duty to others and how to make contributions to their local, national and global communities.
Tom Inman, Headteacher at Exmouth Community College said:
“I’m incredibly proud of our Sixth Form students and staff for their commitment to environmental stewardship and community involvement. The beach clean up session demonstrated the positive impact young people can have when they come together for a cause they believe in.”
