6.) a) Cleaning up campaign in our school:
Our school organised cleaning up campaign for the first time on to celebrate world environment day in an effective way. The cleaning up campaign continued from 5 June to 8 June within school premises. All students were informed prior through their class teacher about the event and its related tasks. The aim of this campaign was to spread awareness about cleanliness among children. With proper knowledge and guidance students will be capable to keep their environment clean and pure. Once they get proper education about clean environment they can educate others as well. Due to urbanisation we face lack of trees in city areas. As a result, the amount of polluted gases is increasing in the air and affecting our health. The main part of this campaign was cleaning our school premises, playground, each class, office area and nearby area. It was compulsory for students to take part in cleaning movement. One day was specific for tree plantation when each student was given saplings of some valuable trees to plant in their home or nearby areas. They planted trees in school remises, garden and near the boundaries too. Students were delighted to be a part of such life changing campaign which can affect our society too.
