CCA Highlights
Greening Our School
Our club carries out gardening activities to grow plants to beautify the
school environment.
Members learn about the gardening techniques and plant propagation methods such as stem-cutting and leaf-cutting through hands-on sessions, supported by the use of technology.
Nurturing Passion Through Inquiry
Members carried out experiments in groups to find out how edible plants
grow in water are different from plants that grow in soil. They also build
their own simple plant hydroponics system by upcycling plastic bottles.
Upcycling Our Way To Sustainability
Through upcycling activities, our members explore how materials can be
reused to reduce waste. During one of the sessions, they tear, soak, blend
and sieve unwanted paper in order to make them into new usable paper.
Enriching Learning Beyond School
During the trip to the Clean & Green Carnival organised by the National
Environment Agency, our members learnt more about caring for our environment
and adopting a clean, green and sustainable lifestyle.

World Water Day
On World Water Day, our club members took charge of the water rationing
activities during recess. They also shared a presentation about the importance
of water to encourage the whole school community to save water.
Youth for Environment / Earth Week
Every year, our school celebrates Earth Day on 22 April. To demonstrate
our support for environmental protection, our members carried out upcycling
activities during recess to promote environmental awareness and inspire
others to save the Earth.
World Animal Day
To save animals in the world, our members carried out a research project
on endangered animals and created posters that were used for one of the
activities on Children’s Day, in conjunction with World Animal Day.
