GREENOVATORS @ DAZHONG
(Aware, Active, and Advocating - Archers of Sustainability Aiming for a Greener Tomorrow)
Why Greenovators @ Dazhong?
Climate change is a significant threat to Singapore, making sustainable development crucial for the next 50 years. Guided by the SG Green Plan 2030, our school’s Greenovators @ Dazhong Applied Learning Programme (ALP) empowers students with STEM skills, knowledge, and develops their values and dispositions for the 21st century.
Through the ALP, students learn sustainability using the 3As approach—Aware, Action, and Advocacy—alongside the 4Ds Design Thinking protocol: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver, to develop a deep understanding of the environmental challenges around them.. These core principles guides students in problem-solving, fostering critical, adaptive and inventive thinking. Students investigate sustainability challenges, develop solutions, and test prototypes to create lasting change.
Our school is also home to several feathered friends, who are the iconic sustainability mascots in our school that promotes zero waste and food sustainability – the Dazhong Ducks. These Khaki Campbell ducks inspire students to embrace eco-friendly practices and promote a greener future.
