Our Environment Leader - Jono Chapman

   /   
We are oh, so very lucky as students, to be able to enjoy the wondrous landscape that is the West Coast, albeit it’s rainy patches, we live in a beautiful area that I really admire.

As the Environmental Leader I strive to instill my peers with a sense of care, for the place we know and love.


As the new environment leader for JPII in the coming 2024 year I am already immensely proud of the quick strides and activism presented through my committee, with some students already exhibiting exceptional leadership qualities. I’m thankful the student base this year is so helpful and keen to take action against strife, for the betterment of our school and community.

Already this year, we've embarked on a journey of environmental stewardship. A major highlight was our impactful beach cleanup, where students and teachers came together to restore the beauty of our nearby beach. Once again, It’s so heartening to witness the enthusiasm and dedication of our community members as we work side by side to make a visible difference.

Additionally, the Environmental Committee has been hard at work sealing captivating murals that have been unused for years. Not only will they adorn our school walls but they will also serve as a visual reminder of our commitment to environmental awareness and activism, how we can use the unused resources we have to make our school just a bit nicer. While just being geometric designs, these murals show the power of collective action.

However, we are far from done. As we set off into the next term I intend to kick our efforts up a higher gear, with many projects and initiatives just on the horizon. Together, we will continue to innovate, advocate, and lead by example in creating a greener, more sustainable future for our school and beyond.
