LEAF Day 2013

Friday March 8th  -  LEAF Day 2013 - open to all!

Green Mufti day for all  - No drive and Green Fair celebrations after school.

NO DRIVE DAY  - all students (particularly those who normally arrive in cars) are invited to take up the challenge of coming to school on this one morning by alternative means of transport - Could you walk for a change? Or is there a local bus that comes close? What about the MRT? With One North now being close, as well as Buena Vista and Dover, taking the MRT has never been easier.  If a car is the only option open to you, could you carpool for the day, so bring some other friends who also have to drive in?
(Note: School buses will run as normal.)

Green walkers will be meeting near the ends of Dover road and Dover Rise on the morning from 7.20am until 7.50am and we would like to invite you all to join the mass walk in. HS students will be on hand to chaperone younger students. 


All students will receive an online link to a quick survey during next week about your usual mode of transport to school. Please can you fill this in - we are trying to build up a more accurate picture of how everyone arrives on campus and exact numbers, so we would really appreciate it if everyone could complete it.

USED CLOTHING DRIVE - Throughout the day there will be a used clothing drive taking place under the tent plaza. Come and boost your wardrobe with funky, well loved items. Bring along any old clothes, that are still in good condition, to add to the choices. Prices will range from $2-$10.

GREEN FAIR AND CELEBRATION  - TENT PLAZA - After school from 3.30pm - 7pm (just before the HS dance show) there will be a big celebration of going Green. Two very special and interesting guests will be visiting us to tell us more about their drive for a more sustainable future:

Green Riders (SEA)  will be present and will explain about their amazing Bamboo bikes and their environmental expeditions around Asia.   http://greenriders.asia

Carol Goodwin - Who will talk about her sustainable businesses that sells environmentally friendly and recycled products. Check out  http://www.wedoseelife.com/ and http://thejimi.com



All environmental focused GCs on campus will be present - come support your classmates. Come as well and buy yummy snacks, get some funky Henna tattoos, and chill out listening to a range of your favourite student bands playing for you for free. And if you haven't expanded your wardrobe by that point, the clothing drive will still be taking place. 

So come along and take part - Lets celebrate some Green action!
