Xavier School officially shifted to 100% renewable energy in partnership with\u00a0Shell Energy Philippines (SEPH)<\/a>\u00a0for the San Juan campus and\u00a0ACEN<\/a>\u00a0for the Nuvali campus, Jan. 26, 2024.\u00a0

The move to more sustainable practices has been a mandate of the school since 2013, taking inspiration from Pope Francis\u2019s encyclical, Laudato Si<\/i>, that urges all of us to take care of our common home. Environmental advocacy in the two campuses of Xavier School include the banning of PET-bottled drinks on campus, proper waste segregation, and the use of reusable materials for daily food consumption and office operations. The schools\u2019 Science curriculum strives to highlight environmental issues as well. With the shift to renewable energy and plans to install solar panels at Xavier\u2019s campuses, Xavier hopes to promote the ecological conversion that is so essential to forming persons for others who have the consciousness and the commitment to take care of the environment.\u00a0
