At various water points in St. Andrew’s Mission School, hand-drawn posters on water conservation adorn the walls. With slogans such as “Save Water, Save Life on Earth”, and “Water is life, take care of it”, they serve to remind students and teachers that water is a precious resource, especially in Singapore and we should always be mindful of our water usage.

Becoming Environmental Stewards
These posters were also shared during an assembly sharing on 30th June, where members of Eco Club shared with their schoolmates the importance of saving water in their daily lives. Following a previous sharing on Earth Day last term, this was a timely addition to further elaborate that being green is not just about reducing the usage of plastic and other non-renewable resources, water conservation is also a very important part of protecting our earth.
At the launch of its annual water conservation campaign, National water agency PUB revealed the daily water usage for 2024 where household water consumption was at 142 litres of water a day per resident. Under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the goal is to reduce household water consumption to 130 litres per person a day.
Events like World Water Day and Singapore International Water Week serve as a strong reminder of the importance of freshwater and the collective responsibility to manage this very key life resource – water.

Other than sharings and design of educational posters, our Saints in Eco Club also engage in various activities to deepen their own knowledge of sustainable living and green practices. Members also learn how to upcycle materials into other items such as T-shirt tote bags and stationery holders (using toilet roll tubes and drink cartons).
Students of the Eco Club will continue to play a proactive role in promoting environmentally responsible practices within the school community. Through the consistent encouragement and adoption of sustainable habits, they actively contribute to the overarching goal of conserving natural resources and fostering long-term environmental sustainability for future generations.
From creating their own compost to watering and harvesting vegetables, our Saints gained an understanding of the process by which produce is grown and reaches the table.
Their most recent project was the growing of their own vegetables in the school garden, where they grew a variety of vegetables such as spinach, spring onions and red capsicums over the school term. From creating their own compost to watering and harvesting vegetables, our Saints gained an understanding of the process by which produce is grown and reaches the table.
With looming threats such as climate change which threaten Singapore’s water supplies and our environment, our Saints learn to care for the world they live in. Every Saint in SAMS is an active member of society, who is empowered to contribute towards building a better society for everyone.
Our Saints not only positively lead and impact their peers, but also themselves, as they learn how every little action makes a difference.
