Keep our Canteen Clean (KOCC) Campaign

All of us play a part in keeping our environment clean and beautiful so that everyone could enjoy. We should throw our litter into the bin so that cleaners do not need to clean up after us. However, some may choose to litter if the bin is far away and it dirties our environment. As such, our cleaners have to work extra hard to upkeep the cleanliness of our school.

Through the Keep our Canteen Clean (KOCC) activity, we will view from a cleaner’s perspective on how difficult it is to clean up the mess made by the ones who litter. We hope that our students would learn to appreciate the cleaners’ hard work and help to keep the school and environment clean. As the school is shared by everyone, students could also encourage their friends not to litter so that we could have a clean environment for all to enjoy.

This year, students have 4 essential roles to play in the "Keep Our Canteen Clean" activity. They would have to pick up all litter on the floor, clear all unattended plates and cups on the canteen tables, sweep the floor (especially the bins area with crumps or food packets), as well as to wipe the tables with the rags given. We are glad to have our kind canteen aunty and uncle to assist in supervising the students in the respective duties!

We hope to inculcate the right values in the students on the importance and their responsibilities in keeping the  environment clean.

Staff VIA Day 2015: "Care for the Environment"

It had been a wonderful afternoon of good camaraderie, having all staff getting hands-on together for a good cause! EDP held our first Staff VIA Day to encourage the spirit of giving and volunteering. All staff came together for an enjoyable session designing tote bags and graphic posters, with the theme: Care for our Environment

We have captured some precious moments at the sessions. Spot our staff hard at work or pictures of their master pieces!

P4 Clean Singapore Learning Trail

The Clean Singapore Learning Trail is a VIA programme designed by NEA, to allow students to gain an appreciation of what it takes to keep Singapore clean, the consequences of littering (e.g. pest infestation, breeding of mosquitoes) and how their personal behaviour affects the environment.

By deepening students’ knowledge and understanding of these issues, the Clean Singapore Learning Trail will enable students to reflect on how their everyday actions have an impact on their surrounding environment and encourage them to act for a truly clean Singapore.

As a continuation and extension project from our in-school Keep our Canteen Clean activity, a community clean up session around our neighborhood was conducted. Our students are all equipped with gloves, tongs and garbage bags for a good cleaning at the neighborhood areas around EDP. It had been a fruitful afternoon and our students learn that we could all make a choice to do our part in keeping Singapore clean.
