Club Activities
Recycling- ‘Save That Pen’ Project
Our school continued with the ‘Save That Pen’ project which was initiated in 2020. We actively publicised the collection of used pens through assembly sharing and promoted it via the school’s broadcast system. We reached out to welfare homes and gave them the refilled pens. We hope that our students would apply their knowledge and skills as ambassadors for sustainability
World Water Day
World Water Day is held annually on 22 March, a day designated by the United Nations to celebrate the importance of water. Our club members are actively involved in spreading water conservation messages. This year, they have put together a music video to celebrate the event.
Gardening and Sustainability Programme
Environmental Club members participated in gardening workshops where they learn basic gardening skills. They learnt how to create DIY self-watering planter, make their own eco-enzyme, grow microgreens, transplanting and garden maintenance.
Damai Primary School has received the Yellow Flame Award in the School Green Awards (SGA). The award is administered by the Singapore Environment Council (SEC).
The SGA is aimed at educating and inspiring learners of all ages on issues such as waste minimisation, resource conservation and the greening of the school grounds.
The attainment of this award greatly affirmed our school’s overall and collaborative efforts for moving in the right direction in terms of resource conservation and waste management as a school of care, specifically for the environment.
Damai Edible Garden
In 2021, Damai Primary School had the honour of being selected by Edible Garden City to partake in building up an edible garden and mounting up a viable programme to support the teaching and learning across the various disciplines in school. The entire project was funded by our Corporate Sponsor (Lam Soon) which recognises the school’s efforts in leveraging on the Edible Garden as a resource where the school and teachers can engage our students in authentic learning experiences.
Aesthetically pleasing, the wide varieties of plants grown at the garden enriches the biodiversity of Damai Primary School. The learning acquired from activities conducted at the garden is aligned to Damai Primary School’s vision of nurturing Confident Individuals, Thinking Learners and Engaged Leaders. The Edible Garden is a natural platform that could help educate our young learners about sustainability and the benefits of growing their own food sources. It is hoped that every Damaian will learn to be more self-reliant, resilient, develop a sense of healthy curiosity and inquiry.
