Green House Celebrates Environmental Health Day

Every year on September 26, we pause to reflect on our planet's health. World Environmental Health Day encourages us to safeguard our environment for a healthier future. It highlights the importance of clean air, safe water, proper sanitation, and effective waste management.

Going Green at Nahar International School:

Green House at NIS Primary celebrated World Environment Day on Sept 27th 2024 with tremendous enthusiasm. Students engaged in various activities like discussions on conserving our nature, watching videos, making posters to express their thoughts and feelings on this topic.

Furthermore, to keep up with our aim to nurture socially responsible global citizens and to show our children how every little step counts, the Green House volunteers motivated everyone to shut down the air conditioners for 2 hours during this day. The students enjoyed fresh air as all the windows were opened up in the class rooms and they participated in reflective sessions that made them appreciate all the worldly pleasures they have like running water, air conditioning and healthy food, and took a pledge to save the environment.

Teachers and school support staff also joined in and showed their solidarity to our Green Dream by wearing green. What amazed us was that despite the slight discomfort, our students are willing to have more such days without air conditioning in school thus giving more power to our Green Dream! Watch this space for our future initiatives!
