See you next year!

As the 2015-2016 school year comes to a close, we are so proud of all we have accomplished. Here is a quick summary and a send of for the summer!

First, we are so happy to announce our renewed partnership with the GLOBAL ECO-SCHOOLS program. Thanks to our local partner in the UAE, the fabulous and knowledgeable Mr. Moaz at ECAT (Environmental Center for Arab Towns), we have been able to energize our students to accomplish even more!

Second, we would like to highlight our goals for next year (also found in our Green Flag Action Plan):

Continued Action Points:
- keep up with the Eco garden
- keep up the Eco dimension within the school (eco-monitors, promotion, competitions)
- keep up healthy food promotion in the cafeteria, especially meatless Mondays.

New Action Points:
- find partners to come in and organise practical & hands-on events to keep up the ECO awareness (Solar energy workshop & others).
- Reinforce the need for recycling through competitions & short videos to show during assemblies.
- Improve understanding of local bio-diversity.
- Finalize ban on Styrofoam at RWA.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

PYP Grade 5 Exhibition

One of our favorite things about the end of the year is our PYP Grade 5 Exhibition, which are the grade 5 research projects. There are always many ECO THEMED projects.



This year they had their own blog for the exhibition... Here is a link!
