Today is Earth Day!


What do you know about Earth Day? Well, it's a day to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year.

Earth is our home, and we depends on earth for the resources to survive. Thus we have the responsibility, to protect these resources for the present, and also for our future generations.

Recycling is a good idea, but it's just not enough. The key lies in cherishing what we have. We must learn to live with greater environmental consciousness.

We can lead a simpler life, cherish things by using them to their fullest,help to reduce the amount of garbage and protect our environment, thus improving the quality of life on earth. If we can all put it into practice, the impact can be profound and far-reaching.

Pupils' Works of Nature













It was indeed a surprize, and heartwarming too, to see our pupils producing their own works of nature, growing plants in recycled bottles, self-made terrariums, personal journals and writings. Keep it up!

Gardening & Community Involvement










Our club members started the year with hands-on session on growing plants. The pupils filled the recycled bottles with soil and fertilizers, followed by transplanting of varied seedlings including the Japanese Rose. Each of them brought home for monitoring and journal writing. In short, the pupils began to play the role of “farmers”!


Our club set up a small-scale garden for the elderly at the Sunnyville Nursing Home last December, 2008. The garden is just outside the residents' ward, and the elderly can have a look at the plants while having their teabreak at the shelter.
