At Vaels, our students in grades VI to VIII are taking meaningful steps toward environmental stewardship, all while gaining valuable hands-on learning experiences. One of the most exciting initiatives underway is the transformation of organic waste—such as fruit peels and garden scraps—into nutrient-rich compost. This project not only supports sustainable practices but also empowers students to make a positive impact on their immediate environment.
Sustainability is more than just a buzzword for our students; it’s a guiding principle they are actively engaging with. By turning everyday organic waste into compost, students are learning about the essential process of waste decomposition, the importance of reducing landfill waste, and the benefits of enriching soil with natural fertilizers. What better way to learn than by participating in a project that directly connects them with nature?
