Bandar Seri Begawan - Representatives from 15 schools in Brunei Darussalam recently, gathered at ISB for the "Eco-Council Open Morning" began with a talk about ISB's the “day environmental efforts in and around school by Ms Rachel Duce.

Students were divided into groups and were given a tour around the school by members of the Eco-Council such as Ms C Hancox, Mr J Holmes, Mrs SJ Green, Mr S -Green,' Ms R Duce and other representatives of the council.

Among other things, the visitors took a closer look at various "'monuments" of ISB's involvement with the environment such as the tree nursery located by the swimming pool, the murals on the wall of the primary block, the eco-trailer, the pond behind the drama room and the recycling; bins that have been strategically placed around school.

During the tour, the representatives from the 15 schools learnt about the systematic `green' methods used in class such as the purpose of recycling boxes and printing quotas per student during ICT lessons,

During a small break, the guests were entertained by Mr P Sanderson and other members of the Environmental Council with a sing-a-long, where the ever popular "We Will Recycle" song was sung to the tune of "We are the Champions".

Two workshops were conducted later that day. Half of the visitors tested- their' creativity by designing recycling boxes using only recyclable material, while the other half kept themselves busy in the ICT room to browse environment websites that can be found on the school's main page.

After the final talk was delivered by Mr David Taylor about the "Million Trees Project". Representatives from the 15 schools were each given a re-usable goodie bag.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
