The Media and Environment Club is in line with the school’s Applied Learning Programme (ALP) with the focus on Environmental Sustainability.
We aim to nurture an appreciation for the environment and develop social responsibility towards the environment among our students.
Our CCA members are the ambassadors who lead their school mates towards a more sustainable future by caring for our environment. This will be achieved through the main thrusts:
-
Conducting school-wide programmes to raise awareness on environment issues.
-
Promoting the recycling culture among students.
-
Working and collaborating with stakeholders on environment programmes.
In 2024, the Environment Club embarked on enriching learning journeys to the NEWater Visitor Centre and Gardens by the Bay.
At the NEWater Visitor Centre, students learned about Singapore's innovative water conservation strategies and the advanced technologies behind its sustainable drinking water supply. They gained a deeper understanding of the nation's efforts to overcome resource challenges and ensure water security.
At Gardens by the Bay, students explored cutting-edge innovations and creative designs that promote sustainability, while learning about Singapore’s resource management. These experiences inspired students to think critically about environmental challenges and innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
The Environment Club members honed their 21st Century Competencies by learning to create basic app applications using Google AppSheet. They developed two impactful apps: one compiling information on Singapore parks to promote nature exploration and another guiding users on recycling right to encourage sustainable habits. Through this project, they demonstrated critical and inventive thinking, collaborative skills, and a sense of responsibility towards the environment. The experience empowered them to use technology as a tool for advocacy, showcasing how digital innovation can drive environmental education and awareness.
Earth Day 2024 - Planet vs. Plastics
At Bendemeer Primary School, Earth Day is a celebration of our commitment to the planet and a reminder of our responsibility to protect it. This year theme "Planet vs Plastics" focusing on the urgent issue of plastic pollution and its impact on our environment.
Our Media & Environment Club members presented a talk during the morning assembly, highlighting the harmful impacts of microplastics on our ecosystems. As this celebration also coincided with Book Character Day, students were encouraged to craft their costumes from recyclable materials, showcasing their creativity and commitment to sustainability. Furthermore, students delved into the heartwarming tale of "Ms. Jug Finds a Home," a story that underscores the importance of repurposing materials and reducing waste.
Informative boards were displayed, educating students about the hazards of plastic pollution. Additionally, P3 students' tote bag upcycling projects, part of their Social Studies syllabus, were proudly showcased, highlighting their efforts in waste reduction.
As we go beyond just one day, our commitment to taking care of the environment stays strong at Bendemeer Primary School. Our efforts extend beyond Earth Day; we continue working on projects to safeguard our planet for future generations. Together, we're building a cleaner, greener world.
