Our School — A Happy Place

Green School Concept

• A green school is safe, caring, and focused on keeping the environment clean.
• It manages waste properly, saves water, conserves electricity, and plants trees.
• Students learn responsibility by caring for plants, animals, and their surroundings.
• The aim is to make the school a happy, safe, and eco-friendly place.

School Explorer Teams

• Students can form teams like Water Watchers, Electricity Savers, Waste Warriors, Green Guardians, and Traffic Trackers.
• Each team observes specific areas: leaking taps, wasted electricity, litter, traffic safety, or greenery.
• They report problems such as misuse, wastage, or unsafe practices.
• This encourages teamwork and responsibility in improving school life.

Waste Management

• Waste should be reduced, reused, and recycled wherever possible.
• Proper segregation: dry waste (blue bin), wet waste (green bin), recyclables given to scrap collectors.
• Composting food peels and wet waste helps reduce garbage.
• Respecting recyclers and sanitation workers is part of dignity of labour.

Keeping the School Cool

• Classrooms with trees nearby, open windows, and ventilation stay cooler.
• White roofs reflect sunlight and keep buildings cool, while black surfaces absorb heat.
• Shade from trees reduces temperature and provides comfort.
• Simple steps like planting trees and painting roofs can help combat global warming locally.

Water Conservation

• Dripping taps waste large amounts of water drop by drop.
• Fixing leaks and closing taps tightly saves precious water.
• Schools can collect rainwater (rainwater harvesting).
• Campaigns like Jal Shakti Abhiyan encourage water conservation nationwide.

Greenery Around Us

• Trees keep air clean, provide shade, and are home to birds and insects.
• School gardens can attract butterflies and create a natural environment.
• Experiments show water under trees is cooler than water kept in the sun.
• Planting more trees makes schools healthier and happier places.

Traffic Safety

• Many accidents happen because traffic rules are not followed.
• Safety near school gates requires pedestrian crossings, slower vehicles, and signboards.
• Students can design traffic signs for awareness.
• Following rules ensures safety for students, parents, and the community.

Fire Safety

• Schools must have fire extinguishers and assembly points.
• Students should practice fire drills: move calmly, avoid smoke, never re-enter buildings.
• Awareness helps reduce panic in emergencies.
• Fire safety training builds confidence in handling accidents.

Behaviour and Kindness

• Respect, kindness, and discipline make school a happy and safe place.
• Good habits: waiting in line, keeping spaces clean, helping others, speaking politely.
• Avoid bad behaviour like teasing, pushing, littering, or vandalism.
• Positive actions create a welcoming and caring environment.
