Eco Schools ASA

Eco-Schools is a growing phenomenon, which encourages young people to engage in their environment by allowing them the opportunity to actively protect it.

Already pupils have started an environmental audit, formed a committee, built bug hotels, learned about Borneo’s ecosystems and attended a meeting at Brunei Shell Petroleum Headquarters with the SchoolAdvisory Board to talk about Eco Schools.

Melilas Tree Nursery

This week, the team carried out some maintenance on the tree nursery space and continued to plant more seeds. We have planted nearly 200 seeds of 4 different beach forest species so far. Hopefully the monkeys will stay away and they will start to germinate!

Science

M2 have been learning about plant science, including, investigating plant hormones, called auxins, which coordinate phototropism. They have built mazes for potatoes to grow inside of, to see if they can find their way out. Hopefully the lab won’t look like a jungle after the holidays!
