The Environment club is a voluntary group comprising of students and teachers which promotes participation of students in learning about and working towards the conservation and sustainability of their environment.
How:
They aim at creating awareness on the importance of respecting and appreciating our surroundings through 4 domains ie Leadership & Influence, Critical & Inventive Thinking, Projects & Competition and Service-Learning.
What:
PSS Environment Club enable members to actively lead and participate in the environmental activities and take personal action to contribute to climate change mitigation. The Club members are trained to become youth leaders who connect through formal efforts with other schools and external organisations to create awareness about the environmental related issues threatening the cleanliness of water bodies, existence of biodiversity and earth’s natural resources by converting waste that would usually be disposed of in landfill and incineration facilities and is diverted for recycling.
We believe that engaging and participation of students in environmental workshops, scientific inquiry projects, geographical investigations, learning journeys, school and community outreach as well partnerships with external organisations in environmental conservation and protection will help students to lead, identify and solve environmental problems.
The Environmental Club also promote creative and critical thinking through contribution to school such as the PSS-JGIS Butterfly Garden, national competitions such as the Shell Bright Ideas Challenge 2017, Singapore Junior Water Prize Competition (SJWP) 2017, National Environment Quiz 2017 and Sembcorp Marine -Green Wave Environment Care Competition 2017.
As a member of the Club, the environmental ambassadors lead the environmental activities and events in school, identify and implement values-based environmental programmes within their school and community, form part of the network to share and communicate their environmental activities and ideas.
