12. Green Schools

The Green Schools Programme is a student led initiative which promotes and acknowledges long term action for the environment. Our Green Schools Committee worked on keeping a clean tidy green campus for the entire year. Throughout the school year, nearly every student in the school was involved in some way or another with workshops being organised at various times. Our students work on various projects; previous projects have included:

  1. Turning bottles into grow boxes
  2. Making decorations from recyclable materials
