Welcome to RWA Eco Team Blog 2017!

This year we plan to tend to the eco garden and plant flowers and bushes once it cools down and becomes the season to plant. We plan to install an irrigation system designed by the primary students. We are going to add more bins around the school and ensure students put their rubbish into the correct bins. This will be enforced by our Eco Monitors. We are going to hold a poster competition for the school in order to encourage students to be more eco-friendly. We are also going to make an eco board to display in the atrium. Our school's Green Flag is also due to be renewed in the coming school year and this will be made a priority by our Eco Team.

Here are some "before" photos of the Eco garden as it currently is. We will be updating the blog on progress made to the garden throughout the year. We also met the primary school Eco team on our trip to the garden last week and look forward to working with them to create an even greener environment at RWA!

2017 Grade 3 Recycled Community

Every year the Grade 3's build a city from recycled materials. Cool!

World Environment Day

We celebrated World Environment Day 

with lessons about how students can conserve water and protect our world!! 

Thanks to the wonderful work of SURGE FOR WATER for all their great humanitarian, life-saving work around the world.


Today Grade 3 partook in the Surge Water Workshop to mark World Environmental Day. Surge brings life-sustaining water and sanitation solutions to those in need and raises awareness of the global water crisis. Our students learned about the difficulties facing those in developing countries when it comes to water and all pledged to do their utmost to ensure that we all use water responsibly. If you want to find out how you too can save water just ask Grade 3 students. We are happy to help!

Thanks to 

The Total Office 

& Dubai Electricity and Water Authority - DEWA 

for helping out and to all the volunteers for making the day possible!

Grade 5 Exhibition

Our Grade 5 Exhibition always has green themes! Every year as the culmination of their PYP experience, Grade 5 students explore a project in depth. 

The Exhibition is a buzz with cool activities!

The environment is a subject that so many students care about, and it shows in their projects! Here is just a sample of the many cool Environmental Projects.

Wold Planting Day 2017

A great day today with RWA celebrating Planting Day. 

We have filled 8 large planting boxes, kindly donated by PARIS, with the more than 150 trees, flowers, bags of seeds and herbs bought in by our fantastic students.

We want this to not be the end, but just the start of something bigger!
