Celebrating European Week for Waste Reduction at School – November 2023


Between 18th and 26th November 2023, our school participated in the European Week for Waste Reduction. Different classes held various activities to raise awareness on this campaign. The Grade 2 class reused toilet rolls to create craft items. The Grade 3 class learnt about food packaging and watched a PowerPoint. The class analysed lunch boxes and carried out a discussion on alternatives for packaged food. Grade 4 carried out an activity where they labelled the class bins to ensure correct waste separation.  Grade 5 reflected on the use of alternative sustainable packaging where less resources are wasted. The Senior 1 class held an engaging discussion on alternative packaging. Furthermore, this week the school installed a drinking water fountain which will reduce the purchase of water bottles from school. Well done to all the classes that participated in this campaign.
