Keep our Neighbourhood Clean Activity

In Term 3 2019, our P5 Prefects Leaders gathered to discuss, suggest and initiate ideas towards service learning. They bounced off ideas firstly by identifying problems or issues in our neighbourhood, followed by giving suggestions on the possible activities that could engage the entire Prefectorial Board Leaders. Eventually, the pupils decided to embark on the project- Keep Our Neighbourhood Clean (Litter-picking).

The cleaning activity was mainly spearheaded by our P5 Prefects Leaders. Each of them took charge of one small group. Each group was then assigned an area around the neighbourhood to do litter-picking.

During the activity, the pupils spotted quite a large number of cigarette butts, plastic wrappers, bits of shattered glass as well as plastic bottles on the grass patches around the neighbourhood. While picking up the litter, our pupils realised how difficult it must be for cleaners to clean up the neighbourhood on a daily basis. This allows the pupils to learn the importance of showing compassion towards our community cleaners as well as develop a sense of responsibility towards our environment.

Lastly, in order to heighten the awareness of the residents around the neighbourhood, our P5 Prefects Leaders also designed effective posters. Posters such as emphasising on the importance of keeping our neighbourhood clean as well as saving our environment through recycling were created. The Canberra Community Club helped to print and display these posters at the RN noticeboards to spread these important messages.

Together, EDP aspire to create more bright spots around the neighbourhood @ North West and will continue to engage our pupils in doing so.
