These recycling programmes enrich students knowledge in environmental conservation and provide them with opportunities to recycle various materials such as plastics, glass containers, beverage cartons etc. Last but not the least, the 3-colour recycle bins for the paper, plastics and metals are part of our recycling programmes.
All these Programmes upcycled either our waste materials or the materials collected from our Recycling Programmes such as PET and HDPE plastics, plastic lids, school sweaters and fruit skins. They were upcycled to make trophies, folders, Eco Enzymes, pin cushions for our own use, and scarfs for the needy.
Circular Economy
Circular Economy
Circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In this way, the life cycle of products is extended.
In practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum. When a product reaches the end of its life, its materials are kept within the economy wherever possible thanks to recycling. These can be productively used again and again, thereby creating further value.
This is a departure from the traditional, linear economic model, which is based on a take-make-consume-throw away pattern. This model relies on large quantities of cheap, easily accessible materials and energy. Source: European Union

The Eco-Enzyme Workshop took place on 18 March 2025, with over thirty students and parents joining in the fun. Our fantastic Green Teens demonstrated and assisted everyone in transforming organic orange peels into powerful eco-enzymes.

Visit to the Elderly Home (7 Mar 2025)
Our Green Teens, Zoe Chan (4C), Sonia Ng (4C), Isabelle Li (4C), Karen Leung (4A), and Ella Lee (4D), along with Mr Szeto, brought sunshine and warmth to the Flower Forest Elderly Home on 7th March 2025. They shared beautiful scarves and beanies, lovingly downcycled from our students' donated sweaters, thanks to the incredible efforts of our partner, HKRITA.

STEAM Week - Green Sandbag Programme (22 Apr 2024)
STEAM Week - Green Sandbag Programme (22 Apr 2024)
We established a circular economy as 25 green sandbags were made using some of the PET plastics and the glass containers collected by our recycling programmes. Visual Arts students were invited to draw on these sandbags with environmental conservation and sustainable development as their themes during the STEAM week from 22 - 24 April.
On 22 April 2024, which is also the International Mother Earth Day, students from our primary school and our teacher contributed to the painting work of the sandbags. These sandbags will be used by our school after they are filled at the Sheltered Workshops. Our Green Teens delivered the above message to the visitors in order to inspire them to help save our environment and give more concern to the underprivileged people.

Waste Upcycling for Eco Enzymes (18 Apr 2023)
Our Form 2 Green Teens, janitors and staff members collected the orange peel skin and waste obtained on the Joyful Fruit Day, together with the right proportion of black sugar and water to make Eco Enzymes.
The Eco Enzymes will be ready for use in a few months' time. It was not only an enjoyable event but it also allowed us to help save the environment by reducing our carbon emissions and combating climate change.
