CELEBRATING WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 5TH JUNE 

To celebrate World Environment Day, Year 7 and 8 Indonesian students researched on the challenges to our environment with a focus on the rainforests, orang-utans, palm oil and climate change. 

Students shared their findings, including creating handwritten/drawn posters to raise awareness on the challenges to the Orang-utans’ habitats and food supply. Students designed Indonesian and multilingual posters. Below are sample posters. Best 3 posters from each level won palm oil-free lollies and gummy bears! Well done to all students!

Here are some student feedback and posters:

‘We enjoyed learning about the Indonesian rainforests and orang-utans. The orang-utans are amazing animals’, Y 7 students.

‘I learnt about palm oil and their products. I want to make wise choices in my life so that we can protect the habitats of the endangered orang-utans’, Chloe, Y 7.

‘We enjoy researching about the Indonesian rainforests and animals. We also enjoy creating ‘save the environment’ and ‘save the orang-utans’ posters’, Y 8 students.
