Our Year 5 students are learning about ‘Waste’ and ‘Managing Waste’ these days and to make their learning interesting we always seek every possible opportunity. Under this aim, today our Year 5 students went to the garbage dump area - Kuni Koshi No. 2 to observe how the waste is managed under various categories. The management of waste under categories was organised and handled by Male’ City Council. The dump area was opened to the public and school students to make us aware of the importance of managing waste.

We believe that making the use of such opportunities widen our awareness on pressing issues such as waste management in Male’. Through this visit our students were able to accept how much waste is being collected within one day’s time and the negative impact on our environment. At the same time, the categorisation of the waste has taught our students the biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste.

Hence, we have planned activities to come up with waste reduction solutions which we also plan to share with responsible authorities in the days ahead.
