One People One Planet

Come and relive the vibrant energy of our One People One Planet Celebration! On Tuesday, 30th January, our school was transformed into a hub of unity, wellness, and sustainability.

Our students poured their dedication and creativity into organising this event, and their hard work was evident in the beaming smiles that filled the air. From thought-provoking TED Talks on sustainability to enlightening presentations by guest speakers, the morning was brimming with inspiration and learning opportunities.

In the afternoon, under the warm sun, families indulged in a plethora of festival-style activities and sports. From the rhythmic melodies of BIYAND's performance to the laughter echoing through the Eco Enterprise area games and the excitement of the FI recycled cars competition, there was something for everyone.

Creativity flourished as attendees decorated sock puppets and planting pots, explored the intricate world of cells under our microscopes, and indulged in sensory play with animal tuff trays and playdough. Sports enthusiasts engaged in friendly matches of football, volleyball, and dodgeball, while sustainability champions traded used football boots and shirts at our SWAP shop.

Parents browsed the sustainable offerings at our souq or delved into the world of literature at our Book Fair and used books sale, each purchase contributing to our collective commitment to a greener future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating our shared humanity and our planet's well-being. Together, we are paving the way towards a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.
