A matter of great pride for School as,
Ours is ONE OF THE TWO GREEN
SCHOOLS from Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Green schools Programme is the one which
demands things in progress and a step to take initiative to encourage students
participation and helps them learn with joy. Green Schools Programme is based
on the twin objectives of ‘Learning by doing’ and ‘Making change
work’ to help schools to audit the consumption of natural resources within
their premises, and assess themselves as environment managers.
The
Performance Report submitted by the school helped the GSP in assessing the
initiatives undertaken by the school to concentrate more on measurable changes
made over the years in single schools’ green practices rather than creating
competitive environment.
Our
School believes in:
Talk
the Talk
Changed
into
Talk
the Walk
The
school took lot of measures and made efforts to commend resilience in making
students and community sensitive to the environment. For all the six sections of
the Green Schools Programme Audit – Air, Energy, Food, Land, Water and Waste,
the school integrated elements of holistic environment education and linked to
the most challenging crisis of current challenge - Climate Crisis.
The
school is awarded with ‘Green School’ Certificate on the basis of the
following data submission online:
·
‘Air’ Audit Team worked on
finding the data related to air quality in the school premises and
surroundings. PUC of school conveyance, conveyance availed by students while
coming and going from school, the pollutants emitted by the conveyance used and
window-floor ratio of classrooms for fresh air inside the classrooms for the
right teaching and learning environment .
·
‘Energy’ Audit Team focused
on conservation of energy and measures followed in the organization to be a
Green school. A comparative study of Electricity consumption, Fuel energy and
LPG consumption was undertaken by the team. A steep dip in the electrical energy
consumption was found after the installation of Solar panels and use of LED
tube-lights in the classrooms and the building.
·
To create awareness among
students the School initiated new “Prefect
Post” for the School Canteen as Calorie Cadets (Captain) as Food Audit Team
to keep a watch on the type,hygienic quality of the snacks served, the food
students bring in their lunch boxes and their nutritive value, calorie index
and other related issues were the main points to be focused upon.
·
‘Land’ Audit Team took a
detailed audit of ratio of site area to plot area, green cover to ground cover
ratio, parking and other areas.
·
‘Aqua’ Audit Team of school
took a detailed study of water consumption, methods to keep check wastage of
water and promotion of practices for conservation of water and to stop the
misuse of this very important natural resource. They mainly worked upon Rain
Water Harvesting Plant of the school.
· ‘Waste’
Audit Team focused on 5 R’s principle of fixing and converting the renewable
waste into productive items which
can be reused. School has a proper policy of segregation of different kind of
waste. Classrooms are well equipped with waste bins.E-Waste like old Smart
Boards and White Boards are painted to decorate the school building, packing
material is used to prepare decorative items used in Tableau presentation,
House Boards, Greeting Cards etc. for various school activities.
Thus it was a great experiential learning for
the students and the school community as a whole where we are guiding and
preparing future leaders to be more sensitive and concerned for mother Earth
and Nature. A true contribution towards
‘What
we gain is what we give’
to the future generations for their survival
as
Green
Students will be Green Citizens.
