Sustainability is one of three cross-curricular priorities for the Australian Curriculum, and such an important value for every person on the planet. We all at AISM are committed to educating, engaging, discussing and recognising our place in the interdependence and dynamic nature of planetary systems.
Cross-curriculum learning such as this is fundamental to:
- Understanding the ways social, economic and environmental systems interact to support and maintain human life
- Appreciating and respecting the diversity of views and values that influence sustainable development
- Participating critically and acting creatively in determining more sustainable ways of living.
This year we built bird nesting sites through upcycling of other reusable materials. These will offer safe environments at school and at home for wildlife. We raised RM2,479.50 to support the continuing transition of our green school grounds to more sustainable environments, inclusive of gardening edible areas, composting sites, energy conservation, education of arboreal ecosystems and waste reduction practices.
Thanks to everyone who wore Green or Environmental outfits in celebration. Mr Epetahui hosted multiple lessons throughout the week, ranging from composting, to recycling, to ecosystem restoration. Ayra Aaqilah Akmal Hakim was the overwhelming winner of our school wide Green Week Competition, creatively reshaping multiple recyclable materials into a cuddle toy. Thanks to Nicole Bong and Cherish Le Yi Wang who managed and advocated for this opportunity for our creative and innovating community to shine.
