Unity Primary School – Gold

The project team embarked on a six-month initiative to promote sustainability and waste reduction through recycling and upcycling. They organised booths at the school’s annual Science and Green Carnival, inviting parent volunteers to join the event. The carnival coincided with the launch of NEA’s Recycle Right Campaign 2024, hosted by the school and graced by SPS (MSE), Mr Baey Yam Keng.

The team collaborated with partnering kindergartens to conduct door-to-door visits to collect recyclables and educate residents on proper recycling practices. They also engaged three neighbouring PCF kindergartens, teaching preschoolers about upcycling through crafts games such as the upcycled Claw-It-Up game.

Punggol Green Primary School – Silver

The students initiated a six-month project to address improper recycling practices based on their observations of misuse of recycling bins in the neighbourhood. The project aimed to raise awareness on correct recycling methods and foster sustainable habits within the school community and homes.

In conjunction with Earth Day, the team organised a week-long Green Week campaign, to educate students on proper recycling habits. Recess activities were conducted to teach students about correct recycling techniques, and repurposing materials.

To reinforce recycling concepts, the team developed an interactive book titled "Pearl's Recycling Adventures”, which guided readers through Punggol's eco-friendly landmarks and explores different recycling methods. The book was presented to MK@Punggol Green Primary School and audiences at NLB@One Punggol, with accompanying activities.
