Our Eco Coordinator, Ms. Cristina Jimenez, has been honoured with the prestigious Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) Teacher Award for 2025.
Selected from over 50 applicants worldwide, Ms. Jimenez received the award on June 3rd in recognition of her outstanding leadership as Eco Coordinator of PASCAL Private Secondary School Lefkosia. During the presentation, she showcased the inspiring sustainability initiatives driven by our pupils —efforts that truly reflect our school’s commitment to environmental education.
While this award recognizes Ms. Jimenez's dedication, she emphasised that it reflects the collective effort of colleagues and pupils across our school community.
“This award is recognition of the enthusiasm and creativity that I try to share with my pupils so they can become active citizens and solve problems around them. It fuels my passion to keep providing education for sustainable development,” Ms. Jimenez shared.
Her ongoing mission is to empower our school community through a robust sustainability framework that shapes thoughtful, environmentally conscious global citizens.
There’s no better way to celebrate World Environment Day!
This is what the pupils have to say about their experience working with Ms. Jimenez on ongoing sustainability projects:
"I'm happy to have a teacher like you who is so dedicated and committed to her work, and that passes on this passion to her students. By joining the reBLUE team I had the opportunity to engage in environmentally friendly activities and seek to enhance my knowledge of our environment and learn about how we can make the right choices to reduce the negative impacts of our actions."
