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.

EDP Community contributes to Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund

"On 25-May-2015, our School launched the initiative to facilitate the fund-raising by Singapore Red Cross Society for its disaster humanitarian relief effort in aid of Nepal Earthquake. A presentation to raise awareness of Singapore's response to the disaster and to appeal for donations was given during the morning assembly to the students and staff. A donation booth has been set up and manned by the parent volunteers of EDP Parent Support Group. The students and staff responded overwhelmingly with generous donations and many well-wishing notes. This 3-days fund-raising donation drive concluded with tremendous success and the EDP community was happy to be able to make a difference in helping the people of Nepal."

The video of the presentation can be found here.

Canberra Day

We would like to take the opportunity to thank the NE Ambassadors, teachers and parents volunteers who were there to lend a helping hand at the Endeavour Primary Booth during the Canberra Day on 16th March 2014. Also not forgetting our pupils and parents who had patronized our booth to give us their support. Our booth attracted lots of crowd as the 400 tokens were all given away.
