Hole for the Tree-Planting Event Successfully Dug

In preparation for this Friday's tree planting ceremony, 2A, 2M and a few other Sec 2 students worked together to dig a 1m x 1m x 1m hole at the area near the container classroom.

In the process, the 2M students found a huge rock in the ground and they were deciding whether to dig a new hole at another spot instead of moving the rock. They finally came to a decision: to move the rock. They worked hard at digging the soil around the rock, then finally lifted the rock out of the hole. 2M has decided to engrave their class name onto the rock.

After hours of hard work, everyone's efforts finally paid off when the students of 2M put the young tree into the hole. 

Congratulations and thank you, 2A, 2M and other volunteers from the Sec 2 level!

Do come down to the area to witness the ceremony this Friday at 10am!

Green Wave 2011

This year, schools around the world will plant a tree at the same time to commemorate Green Wave 2011.

As for Cedar, we've selected a rare tree, also known as Malang Malang. This tree is appropriate for parks and gardens.

Here are some special features of the tree:
- young leaves are pink, so the tree is useful as an ornamental tree
- its timber is better than teak
- roots can be used to treat rheumatic pains
- leaves can treat urinary tract infection

Why do we need to plant a tree? Trees help to reduce the greenhouse effect on Earth and also prevent soil erosion. In addition, a tree in a rainforest can house up to 2000 species of insects, fungi, birds, mammals, etc.!
