Survey Results

At the end of this year we asked our students to answer 2 questions in order to gage their attitudes. Here are the results and a brief analysis below. We will repeat this at the end of 2015-2016 to see if there has been any changes in behaviors and attitudes at RWA.

The first question aimed to measure the behavior of the students with regard to recycling:

• A majority of people admitted that they only recycle "sometimes" - this is probably a very good indication of actual recycling at matches our observations. Many do it when it is convenient, but do not do when the bins are far away or not clearly marked.
• Many (31%) said they always recycle, which is probably an exaggeration, but shows good intentions by the students. 

The second question aimed to measure the attitudes of the students about the E-team:

• Overall it seems that the E-team has a GOOD reputation, but there is surely some room for improvement. 
• We feel that we do a lot of good work, but we will do better. Also, improving visibility and awareness raising will improve the effectiveness of the E-team as it will become more popular. 

Environmental PYP Exihbition

Each year, RWA 5th graders endeavor to research and discover a subject that interests them as part of their PYP program. Many of our 5th graders chose environmental topics. Here are a few. 

~ THEY ARE ENDANGERED ~

~ REPTILES ~

~ RECYCLING ~

~ WATER QUALITY ~

~ DEFORESTATION ~

~ ELECTRONICS AFFECT OUR ENVIRONMENT ~

~ STOP OVER FISHING ~

~DON'T TRASH IT, EAT IT ~ 

~ GLOBAL ISSUES ~

And the winner is ... RWA!

It gives me immense pleasure to announce that our efforts in reducing the pollution caused by the cars has been rewarded and RWA has been declared as the winner of the  

 " Clean The Air We Breathe" 

Inter school competition 2015

Thanks to all the students, parents and teachers who showed their concern for the environment by planting a tree/a plant.

On Tuesday 23^rd June our School will be presented with a plaque and certificate in recognition of their NOx Pollution Neutral Effect environment by Clean Energy Business Council. As well we will be offered a painted area (free of charges), near the street and/or car park sufficient to offset the vehicles and busses arriving/departing in the school area, each day for the last 100m of emissions.

Getting the heat on at RWA!

While all our students are stressed about exams these past few weeks, they can be proud that their Solar Project was featured on Emirates 24/7 News! 

Great work! Great initiative! 

Solar Energy Science Exam study question: 

Can you name the energy transfers that happened in your solar cooking project?

When you cooked the noodles, was that a chemical or physical change?

Good Luck to all!
