Effective Micro-organisms
Effective Micro-organisms or EM is a bio-organic cleaner.
It has been used for agricultural purposes
EM will be used in our school pond to kill algae, rather then using chemicals.

Roof Garden
In Singapore, land is scarce.Roof top gardens are a good way of
teaching our pupils agrotechnology.We intend to build such a garden
cultivating plants which can survive well in extreme sunlight and yet produce food crops.
It will also serve as a green area for pupils to relax and study.
