The Immaculate Conception School of Tarxien has once again won the Green Flag Award. This follows several activities organised by the Ekoskola team throughout the past scholastic year to promote the reduction of waste and litter in and out of school.
The activities included participation in the European Week for Waste Reduction with a composting project, a green marks competition to determine the best-kept class; a virtual green photo album; and an eco-health day during which students increased their environmental and health awareness through games and hands-on activities.
The highlight of the day was a car wash activity to encourage responsible use of water, the proceeds of which went to Life Cycle.
The Ekoskola committee also recently held a beach clean-up at Rinella Bay in Kalkara, keeping in line with the school’s ‘Love where you live’ eco-code.
