One Week's creator, Dr Will Hearsey, a GP from the Hart Surgery in Henley, is the driving force behind the initiative and documented his week on his website and social media channels.
Speaking after the week, Will said:
"Thank you so much to students, teachers and parents alike for getting on board with One Week and hopefully, it's made a real difference. It will serve as a fantastic example of what can be achieved in future One Weeks."
At the College, the week began with an announcement in Monday's assembly from Shiplake's Head of Eco-Committee, Mr Jack Cooper, as well as two members of the committee, Martha Berry and James Middlehurst. In it, they encouraged all members of the College community to be mindful of their actions, from switching lights off in unused rooms, to printing less, if not at all.
Throughout the week, teachers got involved by going tech-free in their lessons. From using the tables as whiteboards to even drawing and annotating on classroom windows, there were many creative ways on display in which these lessons were delivered.
In a slightly more humorous take, pupils and staff, including the Headmaster, got involved with a video showing what can be done to make a difference. That video, as well as clips from a tech-free lesson, can be found in the Flickr album below.
Speaking after One Week, Mr Cooper, said:
"The whole week has been a success with both students and staff getting involved. As it has been said many times before, little things can all make a difference.
Among staff, it created conversations about printing and the use of technology in the classroom, and I have seen students actively challenging teachers about reducing waste and turning switches off.
Shiplake's Eco-Committee is a driven team of pupils, who hopefully will make One Week have long-lasting impacts."
