A trip to River Safari

“The Wildlife Buddies module was a truly enriching one as we got to learn how we can conserve and protect wildlife and appreciate its beauty. The trip to River Safari was my favourite part of the module as we were able to explore more about many marine animals. Through the module, we gained better in-depth knowledge on wildlife.”

Sec One CnME – Planting Tomato, Lady’s Finger and Kangkong in collaboration with Eco Action Day by Ricoh’s Seeds for Schools and making Eco Lanterns for Mid-Autumn Festival

The Innovation and Environment Education Committee collaborated with the Values-in-Action Committee to involve all Secondary One students in planting vegetables at home and harvesting them to distribute to the community. The plants include tomato, lady’s finger and kangkong. Through this joint project, students developed care for the environment and shared their harvest with the community.

Learing more about Hydroponics

To support Zero Waste Challenge, our Secondary One students collected used paper cartons and upcycled them into Eco Lanterns. These lanterns were collected and displayed around the school for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
