TWO schools did the country proud by securing the second place in an international online climate change project recently.
SMK Serdang in Kedah and St George’s Girls School in Penang were chosen from over 40 schools worldwide including four in Malaysia that took part in the competition.
It's a fine day: SMK St George's Girls School students showing their posters which they made for the climate change project. The first placing went to a school in Cyprus.
SMK Bukit Jambul in Penang meanwhile was awarded the ‘Highly Commended’ project category.
SMK Serdang and St George’s had among others conducted projects like planting more trees, recycling and creating awareness on climate change through banners, posters, questionnaires and pamphlet distribution.
SMK Serdang spokesman K. Tasha Nanthiny, 17, said eight students from the school took part in the competition from March to September last year.
“We are happy and surprised that our suburban school emerged as a winner for the first time in an international competition.
“We had carried out several activities such as planting neem seedlings in coconut husks. The seedlings were then distributed to locals.
“By doing so, we reduced the use of black polythene bags. Besides that, we planted 157 trees around our school,” she said.
Creative: SMK Serdang students and their teacher advisor Renuka explaining one of their banners which is aimed at promoting awareness on climate change. Their teacher advisor R. Renuka said she was glad that the school emerged victorious.
The competition was organised by SUPPORT-Cornelius Network for Lifelong Learning: Partnership and participation for a Sustain-able Tomorrow, a network supported by the European Commission that involves schools from the European Union and countries affiliated with it.
Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) School of Education was given the task to work with the schools on the campaign named ‘CO2nnect: CO2 on the way to school’.
St George’s spokesman Andrea Ong said 10 students took part in the competition which emphasised on the importance of recycling, planting trees and carpooling.
“Among the activities carried out was collecting a total of 2,893.8kg papers for recycling from April to August last year and by doing so we had saved 357 big trees on earth,” she added.
SMK Bukit Jambul’s spokesman Eureka Foong said the team of three students made a short video on the effects of carbon emission that was posted on YouTube.
Well done: SMK Bukit Jambul students showing USM vice-chancellor Prof Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak their YouTube video. The school won the 'Highly Commended' project category “The 122-second video clip is about the effects of carbon emission produced by vehicles in George Town and also our desire for Penang to be more pedestrian-friendly one day,” she said.
School of Education dean Prof Abdul Rashid Mohamed said a teacher and two students from each of the second-placed schools would receive their prizes in Norway during an event which would be held from April 19 to April 24.
