Environmental Week was observed at KNES in February 2026 and students and staff were encouraged to participate in the initiative. The student council steered this initiative which asked students and staff to collect used plastic water bottles. The purpose of this event was to educate students on recycling, reduce plastic waste and raise awareness about recycling at KNES and within the country.

Classes competed against each other to check who could collect the most. Collection bins were placed in each class and empty plastic bottles were deposited in them for 1 week. After 1 week, the bins will be emptied by the council and the plastic collected was weighed. The class which collected the highest mass of plastic was then announced

Year 8B ultimately managed to triumph over all other classes by collecting 9.9 kg of plastic water bottles. Year 8B were announced winners by the student council on 15 February 2026. As a reward for their outstanding effort and commitment, the class were rewarded with a Pizza lunch, courtesy of the SLT, which they enjoyed with each other in the cafeteria. In total more than 30 kg’s of plastic bottles were collected by all classes. These used plastic water bottles were recycled by the student council at a local recycling facility. This initiative helped instill the British values of Moral integrity and Societal development in our students and it highlighted the enthusiasm and commitment of our students for caring for the environment and society.
