Prospect Primary students teamed up to enhance the aesthetics of their surroundings at their school, adding more greenery on the compound as part of their annual Earth Day celebrations this week.
The school, in partnership with Vigoro Nursery and the Department of Agriculture, planted 50 flowers and fruit trees around the school on Monday as students participated in a series of engaging activities aimed at fostering environmental awareness and action.
Prospect Primary marked Earth Day with a whole-school event led by the science lead, Shawn Harris, and students, which featured a poem, lively dance performance and an insightful Earth Day-themed skit.
The school also launched its inaugural Environmental Club spearheaded by Winsome Barnaby, with “students pledging their commitment to environmental stewardship in front of their peers, teachers, community partners, and parents,” a statement from the school said.
“Younger students had the opportunity to learn about hydroponics, expanding their understanding of innovative agricultural practices. As part of Prospect Primary’s ongoing commitment to waste reduction, the school received recycling bins for classrooms courtesy of school staff and Foster’s. This will further promote a culture of sustainability among students and staff alike,” it added.
The school also had planned activities for the week, such as presentations on solar/ renewable energy, a science quiz between year groups, an art competition, creating recycled outfits for dress down day – all of which culminate with a community and beach clean-up on Saturday, 27 April.
