As a recognition of their contribution in “Getting Climate-Ready” #UNESCO Project, students of Grade 8: Aya Gharzeiddine, Angel Zeidan, Nael Hani, and Jessica Shayya, were honored during the assembly for using the money of the prize they had won in “Pay it Forward Initiative 2016” ProtectED to buy 42 Recycling Bins.
The recycling bins were labeled: Plastic, Paper, and Organic Waste and were placed all over the school.
Bins with same labels were placed in classes, too.
Having a rich, green natural field around the school enhances students’ learning, interests, and attitude towards their local environment. Therefore, new teaching methods like inquiry, experiments, projects, and discovery are implemented in order to develop students’ cognitive, physical, emotional, and social skills needed to learn about the environment, in the environment, and for the environment. The school vision is to be a green eco friendly school in three major domains: curriculum, management of resources, and management of school grounds.
