On Saturday, 28th of October, our school successfully held its annual Beach Clean and Activities Day at Shek O Main Beach. The event brought together students, parents, and staff members in a shared effort to make a positive impact on the environment. The day was filled with beach cleaning, sports activities, and friendly House competitions, fostering community engagement and promoting environmental awareness.
The event commenced promptly at 8 am as students arrived wearing their House shirts, prepared for a productive and enjoyable morning. To ensure an organised and efficient cleanup process, the beach was divided into four sections, with each House assigned a specific area of focus. Meeting points and cleaning areas were clearly designated, facilitating seamless coordination among participants.
The Beach Clean and Activities Day provided students with a valuable opportunity to contribute to the cleanliness of the beach while cultivating a sense of responsibility towards the environment. By actively participating in the cleanup process, students gained firsthand knowledge of the detrimental impact of litter on marine life and the significance of maintaining clean and healthy coastal ecosystems.
Following the completion of the beach clean, parents, students, and teachers gathered for a series of House games and challenges. These activities not only fostered friendly competition but also encouraged teamwork, sportsmanship, and House spirit. Engaging in various challenges such as three-legged races, creating the school logo in the sand, and tug of war, participants showcased their skills and earned House points, adding an extra layer of excitement and motivation.
One of the highlights of the day was witnessing the collective involvement of children, parents, and teachers in the activities. The Beach Clean and Activities Day served as a platform for building stronger connections within our school community. Parents and teachers actively joined their children in the cleanup efforts. The students were delighted to witness their teachers enthusiastically participating in a three-legged race, while their parents joined in the sports activities too, creating an atmosphere filled with laughter and camaraderie.
The Beach Clean and Activities Day proved to be a resounding success, bringing together students, parents, and staff members in a collective effort to protect the environment and strengthen our community bonds. Through active participation in the cleanup process and engaging in sports activities, the event instilled a sense of responsibility, teamwork, and environmental awareness among the participants. It was a memorable day that reinforced the importance of collaboration and positive action.
