'It's great that we were able to visit Chatelherault and Hamilton Grammar School to present a certificate of achievement and to hear from the children, young people and educators about their inspiring action and commitment to improving our environment.
'For the past 30 years we have loved hearing about the remarkable achievements of our young people and the development of learning for sustainability across the world, and we look forward to continuing to provide support through our Climate Action Schools framework.'
