SUSTAINABILITY ACTION AND
IMPACT CONTINUING TO GROW
In addition to these impactful and important initiatives, we
advanced a host of other sustainability initiatives across
Dover and East campuses to support hands-on, real world
learning that foster student agency to take action for
the planet.
We continued to advance our Rainforest Restoration
Programme in partnership with NParks, expanded our
composting efforts to include new wormeries which has
helped our students learn about the vital role of earthworms
in ecosystems.
On Dover Campus, our new weather station installed in the
Dover Green Heart enables students to collect real time data,
compare with local weather trends and use the data in maths,
humanities and science lessons. The gardening groups can
also use the data to know when our delicate seedlings and
young rainforest trees might need an extra watering.
On East, the campus food forest has become a widely used
and appreciated outdoor learning space. Students across
all the schools, Primary, Middle and High have been very
active in this space. From planting new species, to mapping
biodiversity on campus, to just simply watching the birds and
interacting with insects. Younger students have been able
to actively plan and plant new species to attract more living
organisms to campus. The Food Forest has a lot of potential,
and we are looking forward to expanding its footprint and
impact in the school year ahead.
At the community level, we also brought in speakers such
as Prof Cheong Koon Heon, Chair of the Lee Kuan Yew
Centre for Innovative Cities at the Singapore University of
Technology and Design and Chairman of the Centre for
Liveable Cities Advisory Panel under the Ministry of National
Development. Prof Cheong was one of our guest speakers
through our Kishore Mahbubani Speaker Series (KMSS). In
her presentation, she shared valuable perspectives on the
forces shaping the environment, the enablers and drivers that
transformed the city-state into a “City in Nature” and about
Tengah, the new exciting and futuristic site for Dover Campus.
These are just a few of the many examples of sustainability education in action at UWCSEA! Thank you for your
continued generosity and support to help us go above and beyond for our students and our mission.
