Throughout the past few years, St Augustine’s College worked hard to help students in their Primary and Secondary classes to appreciate the environment. It was also at the forefront in encouraging students to take part in activities which help the environment and make better use of resources available.

Throughout the previous scholastic year, Primary school students, together with their educators and their parents, joined forces in order to embellish the gardens of the same school using used tyres. During the same period, all the students of the Primary school took part in the Rainbow Tyres initiative where a number of different tyres were painted to embellish the school. This is an inventive and creative way of encouraging and helping children to take care of the environment.

In the Secondary School, the Ekoskola Club of the College, together with the direct involvement of a committee of students helped by various educators, organised a number of initiatives which led to the award of the Green Flag which recognises schools which organised activities in favour of the environment. These initiatives include the raising of awareness on reducing waste, recycling, planting of trees in Pieta, as well as the writing of articles and photos for the Young Reporters for the Environment.

We would like to congratulate the educational community of the college in their effort to improve the environment.
