The Sri Aman Walkabout

On the 28th and 29th of April, SMK (P) Sri Aman organized its very own Sri Aman Go Green Walkabout. The objective was to increase the awareness among the students and teachers on the importance on preserving and conserving the environment. The programme would also ensure that the students are not ignorant about the various environmental activities that are held in school.

There were 5 stations that the students visited. Their first stop was at the Compost team, followed by the rain water harvesting team, solar system booth, the Eco Ranger team and lastly, the 3R team.

The compost station

At the first station, students were taught how to make compost and bookmarks were sold while at the rain water harvesting booth, they were told about the importance of carrying out rain water harvesting and how to carry it out. Students were also taught the methods to check the level of acidity of rain water compared to normal water.

The solar system team taught the students about the solar panel which had been installed in our PIBG Block and also the benefits of it. The Eco ranger Booth received a great response from the students. Herbal drinks were made and served to the students who visited the booth. Among the drinks that were sold are Sunquick aloevera, Misai Kucing tea and Bangun-bangun tea. The students enjoyed the drinks. Most of them liked the bangun-bangun tea as it had a peculiar but sweet taste. Penguin button badges were also sold.

The Recycling Station. Practice the 3R method!

Finally, at the 3R booth, the students played various recycling games that were organized. Overall, the Go Green Walkabout was a success.
